Hi Clearskies,
You said <<She is the only T to have helped me in such a concrete way so far, but I don't care for her style nor her personal beliefs. Not that she forces her beliefs (religious mostly) upon me, but I am used to a far more neutral person sitting across from me.
I'll be totally honest: if those words were mind I'd be looking for a new therapist. I wouldn't want to stay with someone who I really don't like, but feel gratitude to for helping me get through something very major. My T would be proud I wrote that as she keeps telling me I need to be more aggressive. Okay, I'm getting aggressive in somebody else's shoes, which I know is easier written than done.
If you are comfortable talking this out with your therapist I would if I were you. There are some other concerns such as how soon might she be retiring to discuss. If she takes after her mother she'll be there for another 100 years. LOL.
