I think consciously or not you sense that from him, and you get afraid and want to find another t who you may feel you have a little more control over, or somebody who seems a little more “emotional.” If you are going to stick with therapy I really think current t is the right guy. I think you two will do great work together. However, as always just another opinion take it or leave it

Thanks. I'm actually thinking lately that you're right--that he is the kind of T I need. I think he definitely understands the transference/attachment better now than when I first started seeing him (but kinda wish he had more background in it). I think I realize that he may be completely what I *want* in a T, but he's what I *need* in a T. Hm, maybe talking to that other T helped me realize that...
