wow do I ever understand how difficult it is the first session with someone- especially when you compare them to your present therp with whom you have years of history. do you think you simply didn't click with this therp? it sounds like you felt judged- do you think this would happen with any other therp, or did her personality rub you the wrong way? I ask because I went through so many pdocs and therps after spending years with my pdoc, and initially I would get incredibly anxious so that when I walked in I was in such a horrendous state nobody could have gotten through to me. I think eventually I started to calm down and I did give second chances, but even then I didn't click until my present pdoc and therp. hopefully this made sense- I guess what I'm trying to get across is that she simply might not be the right therp for you (although after all you have been through to set this up, I can see why you would want to go back). I hope the next session is a little easier for you.
take care, judy
