I have posted numerous posts about the T I am seeing and listed all my complaints and listed all her faults and my plan to find a new T and why! However in one post I said I didn't want to be without a T and was going to see her until I found someone else. What is 'funny' is that in continuing to see this T as I have been "shopping around" we are starting to resolve some of problems that were driving me away. I have brought up the complaints and faults and we have talked about them. I would love to get to the point where maybe, just maybe we can work together because I benefit greatly from being in a comfortable therapeutic relationship. Or shall I say, I did in the past. Each week with retired T I was making progress on things. For example career matters, getting along with some very difficult people in my life, etc. Current T is very, very different personality wise. That doesn't have to be bad but you should at least get along with your T! However some progress has taken place. No breaking news, just an update.:)

:) Keep at it rnny. Nreaking in a new T is not easy afterhaving a good one. Like I need to tell you that. Somebody asked me if I was mad at new T because she was not old T... Being honest. Damn Straight I was mad at her for not being My Beloved T. Grief has many flavours and colours in so many ways.
My 2 cents worth. Your old T sounds like she/he worked on a different level to new T. Big picture vs details. One is not better than the other. Just different. You can't do a jigsaw by looking at one piece only. And they are a darn sight harder if you only have the big picture or no picture!
good luck with your shopping Wherever you end up...

It's funny, and sounds counterintuitive, but I've found most of my progress in therapy takes place in those ruptures and repairs.
I mean, you'd think that I'd make the most progress while focusing on my outside life and my challenges outside therapy. Yet therapy provides the only relationship where you can really discuss the process, what's going on right now, in this way. In doing so I've learned a lot about myself, and a lot about relationships.
Whether you stay with her or not, I hope that this experience leaves you with something helpful.
