This therapist has been in practice for over 30 years. She wrote to me this morning, saying, "As you're working this out: remember, among other things, that I refused to talk with your old therapist sharing with me any information that could not be shared with you. That should count in your deliberations."

The fact that she is continuously trying to defend her position is a turn off to me. At this point, I need her to understand it from my perspective and have empathy for what it's like in my position.
