I hope so, I like her and she's nice, maybe I feel she's too nice and I'm too damaged. Ugh

But actually as time has gone on its been incredibily helpful to have a different type of relationship. T2 never brings drama into the relationship and he always owns up when he's in the wrong. I don't feel as strongly about him as I do T1, even though I've worked with him longer than T1, but I've come to appreciate the relationship and use it in the most beneficial way.
I think the testing of your new T is a very natural development in the relationship. Ride it out. If she's a good T, the relationship will probably benefit and that can only be good for your therapy.

Thank you. I keep telling myself not to compare with old T because look how that worked out in the end. I think she's expecting the testing and she has even said she won;t close her file on me but will follow up because going to T will be difficult. I'm glad things are working out for you.
