Well, the one I saw yesterday, she was intended as a consultation specifically about my T. Whereas the others are potential new T's. The only reason I mentioned conflicts with current T to the guy I'm seeing Wednesday is because he asked the usual "Why are you seeking therapy?" question. And I said I was seeing a T and thought it was time for a change. He asked why, and I said ongoing conflicts.
When I meet with him Wednesday, my intention is to see if he's someone I could see working with longer-term. Since I've had lots of depression issues lately, I'm a bit worried about just terminating with my T without someone else in place to go to. And I feel I need to meet with someone to really get a sense of whether I could and would want to work with them (15-minute phone call helped, but the in person will tell more). K, who I saw yesterday, said I could see her as a bridge in between, which is good to know.
Also, I have a phone consult Tuesday with a female T, and, depending on how that goes, might schedule something with her for the following week (I'm trying to not overwhelm myself with meeting multiple new T's in one week.)
