Young therapist
My partner and I of 7 years are about to do a second round of therapy. Our first round was 6 years ago and I stopped because it was my responsibility to pay for it.
The therapist he enlisted for this second round has only been in practice for 3 years and is in her mid twenties.
I am in my early forties and extremely uncomfortable sharing trauma and relationship issues with someone that is almost 2 decades younger than me. To say I am dreading our first session is an understatement.
My partner has a profound history with dishonesty and does display narcissistic traits. I am paranoid that he thinks he can manipulate this counselor, but I don’t feel it’s justified to express this.
Do I have a right to be concerned that we need someone with more experience?
