I started with a new therapist. Had my second session last week. The first time we met I loved her. Last week it seemed like she really didn’t care if she helped me or not. The one I really liked retired. Can you get back in with the other one?

Even when I really like somebody, trust is hard for me. Granting that I take it to hyper-vigilant extremes, I still think that is mostly a good thing. It is good to keep an open mind but not so open that my brain falls out.

Changing therapists can be hard, but personally, I found the gain to be worth the pain. New therapists often helped me find new perspectives to work with.

Give the person time. Maybe five or six sessions. You may grow to like
and trust them. See if you can get someone else if you still don't like them.

my therapist sydney madden knows me sense i was 7 years old and now not the new one

How long since you were 7 years old?

Do I remember right that you weren't too sure about Sydney last week?

How do you envision your ideal therapist?

yes correct Do I remember right that you weren't too sure about Sydney last week? yes i agree

Just brain farting here. Ply gas mask, if needed.

I wonder if taking notes on what you miss about Sydney this week might help you find the roots of your own therapy resistance. I had to overcome a great deal of therapy resistance before I was able to benefit from psychotherapy. Healing is an inside job. Nobody can do it for me. The therapist isn't anywhere near as powerful as my own desire to heal.

Repeat. . . I am just brain farting. Ply gas mask, if needed. Expert I ain't nor do I want to be. An "X" is an unknown commodity and a spurt is a drip under pressure.

i had a rough night
