I think I will enjoy working with my new therapist......

I had to fill out the ususal 400 pages of paperwork (ok just 7) and then she called me back....I'm not sure of her age...I'd say early 50's ?....she has a definite vibe about her, very calm, soft spoken and I can tell she's been doing this awhile....

she found out right away I'm not much on words as I left a lot of the questions blank on the "history" page....we talked about family history, my history, wife, work and all things in between....she won't be able to help me with the sexual addiction stuff, but said she could definitelty help me overcome my feelings for my last therapist

her office is very cozy and even has one of those cheesy fake fireplaces going....

unfortunately she picked up on the molestation when I was around 6 or 7 and that brought up my sexual relationship with another boy when I was around 14.....Ive been ashamed of that for many,many years....however she made it clear that it doesnt put a label on me and sexual orientation is neither black or white so to speak...everyone sort of leans one way or the other....
of course I was nervous the whole hour and found myself fumbling over words and being uncomfortable, but thats natural first time around

her approach is more sensitive and she decided to help me work on the present and the future, because there aint a damn thing you can do about the past

I told her how unhappy I was in my current business and how all I ever wanted to be was school teacher....she said that it could still happen (yeah right!), and knew right away that my job was a huge thorn in my life

I guess the thing I enjoyed the most was at end of session she picked up her appoinment book and said: " next Wednesday at 5 ok?"

I didnt have to choose how often or make a decision....kinda gave me a warm fuzzy

over and out
