Thank you, Comarade!
I'm not sure what fundamentals I want from G. There are some boundaries I have, like he deals a lot with religious trauma, and I don't feel comfortable talking with someone new about my religious trauma. I also need him to know his place: he is NOT my therapist; he is only temporary. I want him to listen and be empathetic. And I don't need him overreacting to SI and SH thoughts, but L says he's good with those things. I guess I could ask when I talk to him just to confirm.
I will definitely consider whether I want to work with him or not. That's the purpose of the 4ths meeting. Just because L trusts him, doesn't mean I'll feel I can work with him. I only have worked with female Ts because I need that attachment to do the trauma work. However, I don't think I want a fenale temporary T because of my tendency to attach to them. I don't attach to males, so it will make it somewhat easier on me. I do have J and T, who I've already have a type of bond with, I could see instead. I would rather keep them as backup though. T, I feel distant from. I think because it's been 4+ years since she was my active therapist. J, on the other hand, I do feel close to, but I like the boundaries of our relationship right now, and don't want to mess with it. L has another female therapist in mind if I don't like G. So there are many options. But if I don't like G, I think I'll go with J because I already know her.
