I was definitely very unsure the first 30-45 minutes. But then later in the session I felt more comfortable and liked him in second session. It can be difficult getting used to a different therapeutic style, or even just someone else's pacing when they talk (T2 seems to talk in a slower, more measured way--while MC talks pretty fast much of the time--I guess T1 is in between).

I'd keep looking in the meantime, in case this new T doesn't end up working out, or if you find someone who is a better fit.

I think what's different in your situation compared to mine is that you still mostly liked RoboT, so probably want someone like him, where I'm feeling dissatisfied with T1, so want someone different.

It ended up being about an hour. I said toward the end of the session that I was overwhelmed and irritated. She asked what she could do to help, and I said, “well, we’re over time. Let’s stop.”

And I know the therapeutic relationship takes time to build. I guess I’m still reeling from Saturday. He was so amazing and I just want that. I know it’s unrealistic.
