Well, I saw the new T. While I did like her, I dont think it's going to work out. I told her about my abandonment issues and trust with therapists and she told me that she is considering relocating in about 6 months. She said none of her colleagues or other clients even know yet and it isnt definite, but she wanted me to know. I thanked her several times for being honest and telling me. She seemed like a nice woman and someone I could potentially work with, but I dont think I want to get involved knowing it'll only be 6 months. I dont want to start needing her and then lose her.
She's probably in her 50s but just got her counseling degree and began practicing 2 years ago. She went to the same university I did my undergrad/grad work in psychology at (its in the town) and we had several of the same professors.. we even took the same counseling techniques class with the same professor! Different semester of course. Weird. She was very sweet.. but almost too sweet. For instance, I had to spell the names of some of the drugs I've taken for her and she commented that I must thing she's dumb. It was a joke, but I just get the feeling that she's a very sensitive person. I dont want to have to worry about her, and I think I'd be tempted to. She did say that she believes strongly in holding people to the feelings and not allowing the intellectualization that I'm so good at, which is great.. but I dont know. Too sweet, moving in 6 months... she asked me to call and let her know either way.. but I dont think I'll see her again.
Plus, Ginny used to work at this center and apparently theyre all very close to her there. They all love her (so do I!) but the connection felt odd.
I see another new T on Monday.
