BrnEyedGrl, some therapists are really into taking a detailed history the first session, and this can even stretch into the second session. I would wait until your T is done gathering basic information before I gave up. Maybe once she puts her computer down and focuses on you and begins to do therapy, she will be all right. If she still keeps "interrupting" you by typing on her keyboard after she is done with the history, I would explain that it is disruptive and ask her to put it away. If part of her therapy is clacking on the keyboard every session, and this does not work for you, then don't continue.

With my current therapist, we clicked immediately. With my first therapist, I can't say we clicked, but I liked her OK. We never had a close bond but she was helpful. I think it all depends on what you are looking for. Are you looking for someone who will be your therapy soulmate? Or someone to help you in a competent manner but not necessarily someone to become attached to? I think any T right now would be hard for you to bond with as you are still feeling upset at losing your old T. Could you continue to see your old T but pay out of pocket? I hate to see people's therapeutic relationships torn asunder by this insurance cr*p.
