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.

I agree, it's garbage which is why I would not do that option. I only asked today since it would be the first session and I've literally got nothing going on today.
However, yes, I need something more predictable for my jobs and my sanity. I like the portal thing he has, it allows ME to schedule online for any of his slots he lists.... and it goes until June right now. So that alone provides me comfort.
I am STILL struggling with T sadly... so that's still the big issue. I've only seen baby T 6 sessions, including the pointless intake, because I had surgery in Feb and was not able to go for weeks and I took a 2 week break in March. I have decided I need to work on my self worth, it is a massive issue in my life and with a non supportive/loving family, it gets worse every day. So no, I'm not interested in long term therapy (to me thats like 6 months to a year) but I'm open to ONGOING therapy, as long as I take months or so off here and there. I just want to get to a point where I am not sad and missing T every damn day and crying about him so much. I want to get to a point where I can see the value in myself that he supposedly saw. Like I said, I will probably stick with baby T but once he moves "soon" I wont be following him to that location. I'd quit or need a different T, even if its a T I only see here and there.
