Now, I know you're all probably thinking "Oh well, it takes TIME"

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">I'm not thinking that at all. It can take a long time to trust a T, but it does not necessarily take a long time to know if you and the T are a good fit. Kaika, I read somewhere that a person should know within about a month or so if a new T is a good match or not. It sounds like yours is not a good match, and you are moving on. Good for you.

Could you try to get a new T who is used to working with adolescents/young adults? Perhaps such a person would be more likely to not be invalidating and take your concerns seriously.

The reasons why that I'm terminating are pretty simple: the fact that I feel completely invalidated by her in her responses. It's like I pour my little 17-year-old heart out to her and she just brushes everything off as simple little things like not getting enough sleep. It's because of this that it's pretty much impossible for me to form any sort of theraputic relationship.
