I've currently been seeing a psychologist at my local hospital, it's on the nhs. I have been before over the years and always felt totally comfortable and like I can trust who I'm talking to. But this time round I feel judged and don't feel I'm opening up much to her. She constantly asks me questions I don't know the answers to and that's partly the reason I'm there in the first place-to understand what and why I'm feeling the way I am. I wanted to try and request to see a different therapist and I'm happy to go back on the waiting list if it means I can see someone else.
I got told years ago by a psychologist if I didn't feel comfortable with a therapist then it was okay to change as therapy won't work unless you both have a comfortable trusting relationship but this was almost 10 years ago so not sure if things have changed.
Has anybody been in my situation before and changed therapists and it hasn't been a hassle?
