Thanks, East. I did have a free 30-minute consultation today with a (female) T who is more relational. We did talk about Dr. T a bit (not by name), as she wanted to know why I was considering changing T's. And she seemed a bit horrified by some of the things I shared. So that was validating. She also said how she'd handle a client saying they loved her platonically, basically saying that it made total sense due to the nature of the relationship and was OK.

So I have a regular appointment with her Tuesday. I canceled my Dr. T session tomorrow (if nothing else, I need a bit of space from him) and am debating what to do about Friday or next week. I may keep my remaining sessions, not say anything about the other T (assuming I can manage that) until after I've had the first real meeting with her, and then try to decide what to do. In terms of, do I want to take a break and check back in with Dr. T in, say, 2 months? (I could always opt not to, if things are going well with the new T.) Formally terminate? Keep seeing both for a few weeks while I decide?
