Transference with one t and not the other who to choose?

Did you go with him? Or her? I thought you were going with the lady that offered a treatment goal plan a...
I decided to go with her, he replied really kindly that he understood, that made me change my mind. So I’m seeing him Friday to talk about decision-making. So I don’t know. I like the scarier option. I don’t understand how a therapist could be “emotionally unsafe” as another person mentioned. I don’t think he will damage me. And I’m very forthcoming with him. Just scared there. So I can share with both of them.
 
hmmm... I didn't like that he didn't have clear treatment goals. Perhaps you can look at what you are trying to garner from therapy and if he is capable of meeting those goals with you. He wasn't a trauma therapist either as I recall...
 
Nope but I did send him an email asking him about his experience with trauma so we will find out Friday. He might know more than his profile said. And he did say if those goals were important to me then we would work on them. So it’s really about me. And he seems like he’s eager to help. The other one it seems slightly less warm even though I have a fear of this guy. Also I haven’t told her a lot of the stuff I’ve already told him. I feel more scared but more open if that makes any sense. And I want to share a lot there. I only want the woman t to know about the things related to my goals. Although I’m guessing that’s a transference issue. Yeah I know it is.

AND this guy will let me email him stuff!!! Omg that’s a dream for me...

I think it’ll really depend on his tale of the things I write. I think Friday will give me a better idea.
 
Was that today? How did it go?
Haha it actually just ended 20 min ago. I like him a lot. He’s very relaxed and chill. I’m really comfortable with small talk with him but not anything important. I’m going to give it a shot but I think I’ll have to really take charge of my therapy and prepare for each week with what’s important. I love that he will let me email him each week although he said he prob wouldn’t reply cause I could take something wrong which I get as I used to twist my old t’s responses and get mad. The emails will make up for what I can’t/don’t say there. And I like that it’s uncomfortable as hell because it’s good for me to sit with that.

How is this going with this therapist? If I may ask?
It’s incredibly good. I made the right choice. Tons of mutual respect, I don’t obsess about him or therapy, I’m comfortable but also anxious (since it’s therapy) but it’s a reasonable level. It’s a very healthy relationship. Which kinda freaks me out lol
