Ms. Control, I'm so sorry you have to go through this on the first try! I know something of the anguish, separation anxiety, and wondering what you might have done wrong. Believe me, it isn't you. A T should know how to deal with resistance and fear.

If I had it to do all over, I would find out what school of therapy my T believed in, and how she/he intends to deal with transference or attachment problems. But, you know, it's so hard for people like us to even bring that up at the first interview. Besides, you don't want another therapist, you want the one you have, to do therapy right. I wish he would take you back.
