My T is 72 and my Pdoc is late 60’s

I had tried a few females T’s (one was probably 25-30 , the other early 50’s I think )when I was “ depressed” my first husband cheated , we divorced and my father died. Nope nope nope they were to “ chatty”

Tried another Female when I was in Florida, she was my age and had a personality of a pet rock.

My T and I work on issues, set goals and work towards them.

For me I like people to be straightforward and get to the point with out walking in a circle wasting precious sessions.

When my T eventually retires ( he has no plans to, but if something happens health wise for him or he said if mentally he starts to skip ) I will just be done with Therapy. There is not going to be another “ Richard” out there and I’m not going to regurgitate my life to someone new.

Eventually there will be a new Dr Graves and I’m going to hope he’s not some pill Nazi type. Dr Graves and I both discuss meds and decide what to try over the years. He has never once tried to get me to take something or up doses etc that I wasn’t in agreement with. He’s a brilliant Doctor that truly understands the problems psych meds cause.

I’m very blessed having them both.
