Cypress
Confident
So my T shares a space with several other therapists. There is one whose office door opens right into the waiting room and he always seems to be going in and out when I am waiting for my session to start. The first time I saw him I thought "wow that guy seems really burned out, glad he's not my therapist". Unfortunately something about him has triggered my internal threat detector and now when I seem him I feel very defensive and wary of him. He is always the same, kind of glum and slightly pissed off but I find I am becoming more paranoid about him. My last session, when he came out of his office I gave him a hostile look which I realized was not appropriate to the situation.
I know I am being weird and hypervigilant and am trying to talk myself out of this but its not working. The internal voice is convinced this other therapist is a problem. I'm worried how my T will react if I tell him how I am feeling about the other therapist. Anybody had this happen before?
