So I've been seeing T1 for over 6 years usually once a week or every other week. At the beginning of last year I had some issues with my insurance and went to a self pay schedule with her, and during that time found T2 in my network. I then switched jobs and now both T's are in my network and I see each every other week, so it works that I basically see 1 T a week.
I've been with T1 for years and we get along well, but I feel like since starting with T2 I feel like I'm making more progress with him then I have in the 6 years of seeing T1. For example, I feel like I have to come up with topics to talk about with T1 whereas with T2 he just directs the conversation and asks questions so I don't have to come up with topics to talk about.
I've been thinking about asking T2 if I could go once a week with him and dropping my sessions with T1. But I have some concerns:
-I don't want to hurt T1's feelings. We've gotten to know each other well. How should I approach this topic of switching to another T?
-I'm worried I'm getting too attached to T2. I don't have any romantic feelings for him (at least I don't think so) but he is a staple in my life. I look forward to our sessions. Therapy isn't supposed to last forever so I'm just worried that when it does end, it will destroy me.
Any thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated!
