Thanks for your thoughts.
I left it open that I could call if I need to make an appointment to see her. And, fortunately, I really like my new pdoc and have been seeing him every week. While it's not full-out therapy, he's much more attentive than other pdocs I've been to, so I do feel like I'm checking in with someone.
Yeah, I do think part of the problem is that she's much more 'to the point' than my other therapist and doesn't provide the same nurturing feeling. And perhaps that's good in some respects, but at the same time, I've left her office feeling much more unsettled than I was before I got there. And I guess that's what I don't want to deal with right now. It's hard, b/c she only knows part of the story, whereas my other therapist has treated me for two years. And the interim therapist really wants me to deal with my 'transference' issues, but I'm just not sure I can right now. I don't want to open up to her. So I'm stepping back somewhat and reevaluating my situation.
