"I'm perfectly willing to bare my soul to another therapist, I'm just not sure about her."
I think you just answered your own question here as to whether or not to get another therapist.
> Do good therapists always connect emotionally with their clients? Or is it possible for therapy to be effective in a more detached manner?In my own experience with multiple therapists and pdocs, my most productive relationships have been with therps who I connected with. Since I'm a very emotional person I needed that in my therapist also. I didn't do well with detached people.
like Fallsfall, I was concerned about your need to 'take care of' your therapist. It should be the other way around, and I honestly feel you'll do better with someone else. The longer you wait, the more difficult it will be.
best of luck, judy
