After talking things over with current T, I decide that T #2 was probably the best one for me right now
my reasons
T1) was pretty pushy, like he had to "sell" himself or something
T1) kind of aggressive. might make me get resistant
T1) has no phD and might be threatened my my PhD, which is why he felt the need to sell himself?
T1) might not as much experience working with a client who expects a certain amount of intellectual stimulation to help her reach insights.
T1) kept on telling me stories about his clients like he was bragging, without really thinking that his stories remind me of bad things. (my oldT did this sometimes. My newT never does this)T2) takes my insurance
T2) emphasized the relation between client and T and helped me understand (without telling me outright) that a male T at this point could help me work through some of my issues with males
T2) seemed less threatening
T2) soft spoken, not in my face. nice calm voice
T2) already picked up on 2 important things. The difference between rage-abuse and sadistic-abuse
T2) worked at the VA for 30 years and has seen plenty of PTSD.I found out today that T2) was my currentT's preference based on telephone interviews with both candidates, and that pretty much shut the door on candidaTe #1
Now I need a name for the newestT
something short and comprehensible
how about quieT?
