Appt. With New Therapist Tomorrow!

[Lisa]

Great stuff :) I like the no shit philosophy mixed with enough sensitivity to be able to pick up on things. Gosh its so important to actually like your own therapist! Good luck with it all!

I'm late coming into this thread Hodge, but I'm really glad it went well for you! I hope you continue to like her, a good therapist can be difficult to find.

Well done Hodge. A decent therapist can make a world of difference.

Thanks so much for the support, everyone! The more I go over our appt. yesterday, the more I have a good feeling about this. I agree it's nice to like your therapist and so important to have confidence in their perceptions, thinking, knowledge, approaches, etc. I tested out some tidbits with her that I learned with my previous therapist, and she gets those, but she also has other ways to approach things, which is great.

I think it also helps if they like you, too. I got the feeling that was mutual, so that's good! And I think she will be challenging as well as compassionate, which is what I'm paying her for, after all :) !
