Did this therapist blow me off during our first session?

Anyways, I have an appointment this week with a new lady. I chose her since she listed in her profile that she’s non judgmental & that she said that everyone is an individual.

Good luck with the new therapist!

Thanks. She definitely was rude & unprofessional. I found a better nicer therapist today. I’m mostly stuck to facts & asking her questions & answering her questions too.

I’ll see her next week. In her profile it said that she’s non judgmental. Let’s hope that’s true.

This has happened to me before too. This probably isn’t the best advice, but I always try to pick and choose what I tell any new therapist I see in the first session, in order to let them get to know me first and for us to build rapport. For me, it worked out with my current therapist. I think it helped her conceptualize my issues easier and be more empathetic towards me. I’m not advising holding anything back or hiding anything, but it just so happened to work out for me to gradually share as trust built over time.
