Hey @Have Hope: I know you fairly well over my year being here at PC and I think I can say I know your strengths and have listened to your struggles. I think finding a therapist that shares your passion and ideals is really a good idea. It’s ok to have a therapist challenge you because I think that’s part of what therapy is. But to fundamentally disagree on prospects and beliefs like yours is almost ... toxic. I mean is she in the 21st century? Has she not had experiences with men in authority or been overlooked, belittled, talked over or ignored in any capacity. Is she even in a professional environment where that would happen? It sounds like she is a a status quo sort of person. That’s not awful but it’s obviously not useful for you or what you need. I know it’s a PITA to deal with getting a new therapist and dealing with schedules and insurance companies but I think you are on the right track in trying to enhance your therapy and work towards goals for your future. ((Hugs))
