I have two T's.

One is very warm and friend-like. She helps me with my emotional and everyday problems. I really like her and she works out great. However, she is not up to speed on "technical" aspects of therapy. She is more of a social worker.

My other T is more businesslike. I went to her originally for CBT. But now she wants to do trauma work and EMDR. This T gives instructions for homework and lots of advice.

Here's the problem: The second T talks really fast. I consider myself a bright person, but she goes so fast I can't keep up. She occasionally stops to say "Does that make sense?" I always nod because I've hardly had time to form a question. Sometimes she says I have a flat affect. That's because she's overwhelmed me and I have shut down listening. Overall, however, I am making lots of progress in there.

Should I tell her she is speaking too fast? I've never criticized a T before and I don't know how she'd react. She's not super warm and fuzzy, but she's really smart and knows her stuff. Since I'm making progress should I just keep quiet and get the most I can out of her fast talking?
