I find him intimidating. He is shorter than me and an older person but I still find him intimidating.. like if I talked about my traumas... I would feel re-traumatized since I find him intimidating and not trusting him.

Big dilemma.. yeah sucks.
In that case... He still might not be the right therapist for you. It may not be his fault but that doesn't mean you still can't switch therapists. Finding a good fit for a therapist is a combination of a lot of factors - of course the therapist has to be good, but also not intimidating, trustworthy, etc. Personalities need to mesh.
