So for the past 3 years I kept checking Psychologytoday.com for an EMDR therapist in my area that takes my insurance. One just popped up! I sent an email through the contact button and he called me right away and scheduled me for this Friday at 3pm.

Great right? Well I started with a therapist (LCSW) 2 months ago and he has been trying real hard but just does not connect enough with me and takes days to answer emails and he is young in this profession. It helps that I have someone to go to once a week. I am not sure when to tell him I scheduled an appointment with this new therapist. I guess I will wait until I feel this new person is right for me or not.

In the past I was was with a social worker doing therapy and then going to see the EMDR therapist for a few weeks and then decided to stay with the EMDR guy and quit the social worker.

Ok what kinds of questions should I ask this new T? Outside contact rules?
