I'm nervous about meeting a new T tomorrow.
I'll update you all sometime this week or weekend on how that went.

I had a great connection to a different T, who was a guest speaker in one of my classes today.
She was talking about overcoming CSA and PTSD and such. Some of the things she was saying were hitting me and my non verbals must have been showing it (I didn't cry though). I made a certain eye contact with the guest speaker T many times during her discussion and it was the "I know you know" type of gaze/eye contact that I had with my former therapist. I don't know how to describe it other than that. At the end of the presentation I had the guest T autograph my copy of her book. She said she thought I looked like I needed a hug too. I said I did and we hugged. That was sooo awesome! What type of guest speaker does that?...except the cool T type!

I just had to share that story. Oh ya...The guest T even gave out her home phone and e-mail just in case we want to talk or discuss her book in further detail.

Wish me luck tomorrow on my new T and that appointment to deal with my test anxiety. I wonder if I'll connect or if it will not be like that with this person.

Good luck!
I had to change T's twice last year after my old T left suddenly and then I had a tempory T for 3 months before settling with my current T.
It was really anxious time,especially as my T is assigned by the hospital and I did not select her myself.
Luckily she is fantastic and I year on we are settled and working well.

The health center at my school cancelled my new T appointment. They accidentally scheduled me with someone I might have T classes with (a fellow grad student/intern) instead of a regular senior staff member. I won't get to meet with a new T until next week.

I e-mailed the T that was the guest speaker in my class the other day to let her know that I enjoyed her book and getting to meet her. I also let thanked her for the wonderful hug she gave me.
