> I guess since it's like a love relationship, you do consider the other person's feelings ... BUT ... you do need to look out for yours first. He has been supportive of seeing the female T, right? On the other hand, maybe he feels protective of you, and those feelings of "someone else is now helping Dinah" come into play.

Yeah, he says I need to do what I need to do. But he's never been too fond of the two therapist thing. I'm hoping he's not so opposed to it that he'll refuse to continue seeing me when he can.

Big grin. (blush and thanks)

> I also think you have a right to be as b*tchy as you need to be! Did you try to make another appointment with T2?

Yeah, I see her Thursday. Since I am avoiding bringing up my feelings about my therapist with her, I'm thinking of telling her that I'd like to work on some of the issues that were hard to work on with a male therapist.
