yeah, does sound like you are still working out a good relationship with a therapist.

there is a concern that if you see two different therapists they might work at cross purposes and kind of undermine each other.

i think... that most people get two parents... and while it is possible that they might work at cross purposes and kind of undermine each other... that that doesn't necessarily follow... people adjust to different contingencies (e.g., some things are okay to do round mum but not dad and vice versa). thats life, i think.

i worked with two therapists for a time. T2 didn't know about T1 but T1 knew about T2. I really... wanted to do therapy properly with T2 but T2 could only see me once every fortnight. T1 could see me every week but was a little concerned about my having access to a p-doc and T2 was a p-doc. she said i needed to tell him... but i couldn't / didn't. was too scared that he would terminate me.

i was really attached to him. i never... managed to attach to her. maybe that was a function of my already having attached to him. might be that attachment for two therapists would be harder... though... after some time T2 terminated me and i continued working with T1... i felt a little more attached... but never really very.

i don't know.

probably will be different for different people depending on the nature of the attachment issues...
