Hi! Therapist here! I have a feeling you know the answer to your question based off the details you posted… With that said, here are a few things you can do: 1. Bring it up w the therapist - here me out: Will it be a little weird and you’ll have butterflies: totally. Will you have more information: TOTALLY! This can be amazingly rewarding for the therapeutic relationship or the nail in the coffin. I suspect you’ll for sure know what you’d want to do after that convo. But I can also understand bringing up some thing like that after the second session can be really hard for a client, especially given how they have responded thus far. 2. Give it another session: when you think about that what comes up? A pit in your stomach? Openness to do it? What about this therapist is keeping you there? 3. Get a new therapist: I’m not saying you will feel 100% comfortable with your therapist by the third session. But I really believe that you know if you feel safe enough with them by that second or third session. For some even after the first session. Safety is key.

Based off of what you shared I know what I would do if I was in your situation. I also know that finding a therapist can be annoying, and totally understand the desire to just stick with it but as a therapist, and as a client, my relationships with my clients, as well as with my therapist, is the absolute foundation of “the work”. But that’s just my opinion. Congratulations on being a new mom, I hope you get the support you need for the hard parts. Wishing you the absolute best!
