My new therapist is a blank slate which I currently find annoying and frustrating.

She seems very young and I asked her how long she had been a therapist. This to me is a basic, even casual question.

But she seemed taken back. She gave me the old 'Thats interesting you would ask that...I'd like to know what's behind it' twist

I asked because she was telling me NOTHING about herself at all which seems extreme and un natural. I mean I don't want a run down of her week but just a few facts. Nothing too personal or deep.

Though if simply asking how long you have been a therapist is too much, then I'm not sure it will work

And yes, I discussed my feelings over this and she gave answers that seemed like typical therapy responses. She asked me to give her a chance.. And since I can't afford therapy and shes my only public health option, I will.
