I agree to what you say I donīt have to worry to get abandoned or to get to attached to her but the downside to that is that I donīt feel connected and I donīt feel weīre doing real therapy.

My T has never spoken about referalls or what happens if the relationship doesnīt work. I just know she answered my pdoc that she has no answers for that when my pdoc asked her more generally about the therapeutic relationship and referrals.

As there are no more T:s at this facility I expect to be more or less left without care it I just donīt exept this T although I donīt feel sheīs helpful.

Perhaps the public health care in your country is more functional than in mine.

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.
