I like seeing how differently each of them will address the same thing sometimes even though they both profess to be psychodynamic. I usually tell the first one about things I found she handles less badly and then the second one does better with some things the first one effed up and simply was horrible about. The interesting part there is that the first one seems to think the reason I no longer tell her about anything other than pets or my sick person, is because she did such a good job helping - when in fact I simply quit telling her because she ****ed it up every time I tried.

Also - If one does not handle something well or if one is gone or whatever - I have the other one that I can deal with if I choose. I am not at the mercy of the whims of one of them. I have choice.

I have told each of them I see others. I have no idea whether they really care or not - neither of them said much about it. I would not let a therapist dictate to me who I do or do not hire.
