[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 190765, member: 3907"] Heather, I can see why you'd find that so frustrating. What you need in a therapist is someone who actually [B]listens [/B]to you, and helps you make sense of what's going on. If your first impression is that he wasn't listening, then that would set your blood boiling. I would make a list of the things that bothered you about the interaction, and give the dude one more chance. Take the list in with you, and go through everything point by point. If you still don't feel like he's listening, then I would find another therapist. Don't rule out a male therapist if this one is a lemon. Male or female, you need to find the one who's the right fit for you. Sorry that your appointment was so frustrating. What a bummer. Trinity [/QUOTE]
