There are a few reasons that make me hesitant to see one of the other therapists in the clinic. 1 is that they are really young. It's hard for me to feel comfortable opening up to someone who is in her 20's.
The 2nd reason is that they are all inexperienced...another reason why it's hard for me to feel comfortable about seeing one of them. The only other older and experienced T there is a man who is the substance abuse therapist, so that doesn't fit my needs.
The remaining reason is teletherapy. If I could see someone in person (even wearing a mask) I would feel a lot better about the whole thing. But meeting a new therapist online just doesn't feel good to me.
That said, it is an option if I need it. And there is my pdoc, with whom I have an excellent relationship. She does do "therapy light." Goes over issues that are not super deep.
