So, I start with T2 August 10th and I have been an absolute, triggered mess internally since we set the appointment but look all cool and collected on the outside. I have not talked to T1 about it yet as I am just realizing that it is T2 that has me triggered. Last time T1 and I talked about working with T2 it was mostly establishing boundaries and expectations for working with two different T’s. T1 said that unless T2 and I run into problems we can’t get through ourselves he is staying out of it. If T2 and I run into problems he will be happy to sit down with the two of us and we can all work it out together.

I don’t know if I should just talk to T1 and stay focused on being really triggered but not get into what is triggering me. Should I email T2? I’m concerned because I’m not really her client for another two weeks and I don’t know what her policies are especially around email.
Up until we set the appointment I was always very comfortable around T2 as we would often run into eachother in the waiting area. T1 and I even joked with her a bit my last appointment before he went away for a month (pre-pandemic). I have seen her approach new clients in the waiting area and she was very kind and gentle. When the support person the friend brought refused to go to T2s office with her and the new client T2 worked extra hard to be reassuring and help the client feel safe.
But... it has been nearly 20 years since I have been triggered as badly as I am now. I was nervous starting with T1 but nothing at all like this.

Ideas?
