before deciding that a therapist is not for me. I have seen this one for three sessions. For the first time, I was late because I couldn't find the place, and he was outside talking (probably waiting for me) and was talking to other people for a long time so I had to stand there and wait and then after the other people left, he said "are you here to see a guy named... when I said "yeap" he answered that's me and he walked into his office and I followed him. The second was fine, then I had to cancel because my car broke down and I saw him again and he was in session when I got there and he came out with his client. The client was going on and on still telling him something and he just said wait for me in my office, so I walked and sat and waited a long time, that should have been my appointment. He just asks me about what I've been doing and gives me input, but I feel he is not gentle at all like what I need, and little details like the ones I mentioned in the beginning of this post just make me defensive so I feel I can not tell him things like I have sui tendencies. When he asked me how I was this last session, I said ok and he made this sarcastic smiley face and said "if you were fine, you wouldn't be here". Also, I am in a very bad financial situation and I still have to pay him the copay. I mean, he knows I'm eating out of food pantries, and it's hard for me to pay him. That kind of rubs me the wrong way. I also tend to have nightmares the night when I see him.
I know in the initial stage he is supposed to be gathering information, and maybe I should give him a longer try, but I don't know for how long. I feel tempted to contact another one closer to me, but I don't know if the insurance company would pay for both of them until I decide.
What do you guys think?
