In a way, I would have almost preferred a therapist like this one you have after my traumatic experience with one I was way too close to. If you think about it, maybe it's actually a mixed blessing, because you don't have to worry about a traumatic termination or being betrayed. I actuallt hate that I like my new one because I worry that she could hurt me or I could get too attached and dependent. If you think about it, at least you don't have to carry that fear with you.

If you are still not doing well with this T after awhile, is there a possibility of at least heing referred "up" or transferred to a more specific therapist who deals with certain issues? I'm also in the public system, and that's how I ended up getting more help.
