Well, you are currently seeing a T who has terrible scheduling and now there is this potential new one who would come with another annoying scheduling issue (assuming you go with the $60 option). What could be the improvement in switching to this new T?

I definitely would not see a T if I had to call every day, just take unpredictable appointment times and adjust the rest of my schedule around that, I do not even allow work schedules/meetings to be that unpredictable. But if you are flexible that way, don't mind the preoccupation (I imagine calling daily or so would increase preoccupation?) and like this new T so far, maybe give him a chance.

Also, I probably missed many of your posts, DP, but what do you need/want therapy for now? What I recall was that you wanted to see a T for a few sessions to talk about your struggles around losing the old T and said you were not interested in longer term therapy. Has that changed? If so, perhaps waiting for a better option a few weeks may not be a bad idea and you could simply just continue with baby T or take the $60 option in the meantime.
