Oh no, Voce, it's happening again...
If I just inserted [military] for university in your post, (AND if I was brave/honest enough to face the *fell in love* part), our paths to finding these Ts were just the same. I thought my pdoc was arrogant, weird, infuriating and slightly crazy for over 1 1/2 years. The next thing I knew, he was the most wonderful friend/mother/surrogate-everything and I couldn't stop thinking of him, day and night. My, my, my.
Sorry Mair, that was old-T stuff. I chose new T b/c old T. recommended him and because he was warm on the phone (calling Ts brings on anxiety attacks-I HATE doing it) When we met, we didn't exactly click, but close enough. And I'm not attracted to him physically AT ALL - that was very important to me.
He treated me with great respect for my intelligence, prior therapy experience and still-tender feelings (losing old T). Respect is a powerful quality.
