I really like the T that I've been seeing but I've also been talking to another T who sounds really nice and compassionate. She also allows hugs and texts outside of sessions. I've gotten a good impression of her through our email exchanges. She's also willing to see me at a discounted price since I don't have insurance.

I really like her and want to go meet with her but I also want to keep my current T.

For anyone who has two Ts, what has your experience been like?

I liked having two ts. However, some ts do not like the idea. I would tell them both about the other before you get 2. Also, perhaps have them talk once in a while.

I have never had 2 T's,is there a benefit to having more than one?I think it would be confusing.

I've never had 2 Ts but I've read of a lot of people here that do. I know many people say Ts often don't want their client to see a second T. Personally, I think that should be up to the client, and not the therapist. If it helps you to get more than one perspective then I don't see why you shouldn't at least try out seeing both! You can always switch back to one T if it feels too overhwhelimg at any point

I see two (at one point, I saw three). It works for me. I tend to be dependent, so it helps me to have more than one t to go to with stuff. They have different styles and approaches, one is a man, one a woman (which is good because of my stuff).

They do not talk to each other, but both know I see the other. T1 will ask about what I am doing with T3, but T3 rarely asks about T1. Sometimes I talk to both of them about an issue, sometimes I chose to talk about different stuff with each one.

I do not let them talk to each other. It's a trust issue for me. It would probably be ok, and I doubt they would do so very often, but I have not signed the permission form for them to do so.

I think the therapist that I want to go see has a different approach than my current T. Current T tells me he is going to do things (like help make my therapy more affordable and that he will respond to my emails) but he continuously falls through on what he says. And he never really offers any advice or solutions to what's going on in my life. But, he hasn't given up on me. And that means a lot to me.
