My first impression of my current T was all over the place. When I first decided to seek counseling from the counseling center at school, I made sure it as going to be legit counseling from legit licensed couselors and therapists. I read everyting about it on the school's website and read all the bio's and information about the staff on the school's website. From the the form I had to fill out, I was convinced I was going to be placed with one of the counselors since she mainly deals with patients with depression. When they sent me an email back telling me I was going to be matched with my T, I was a little bit disappointed and apprehensive. For one, the picture they had of her on the website makes her look so much older and less attractive than what she really is in real life, so I really didn't recognize her when she came into the waiting room for our first session. Second, she specializes in marriage and family therapy which was far from what I was seeking out in the first place. Third, I was still very stuck on my old T and huge part of me wished she could still be my T, so because of that I think I would have been judgemental if I got paired with anybody else as well. When I finally sat down with her though, I found she was so warm, lovely, and genuine. Of course, it did take some time for me to put all of my trust in her, and now I wouldn't have it any other way. I can't imagine what it would be like if I had been matched with any of the other Ts because of the amazing relationship I have with her. Its so silly to think how apprehensive I was of her ha.
Anyone else have similar stories?
