I think if you talk for 50 mins about Ellen and try to call her Kathy, you will slip up - it's natural. So, just make it clear in the first 2 mins of the meeting that this new T does NOT have your permission to contact Ellen. You will NOT sign any form allowing contact at this point. If you decide to switch T's you might consider that - but NOT YET. If you make it clear up front, you should be fine.
As far as 2 appts in one day, me myself and I couldn't handle that. Too much emotion for me. But you need to decide that one for you.
Personally, I would tell Ellen (voicemail would be really handy!) about the consultation, just so you don't feel like you are going behind her back. You'd relax a bit. It will come out anyhow, so if telling her up front helps you relax...go for it. You could just say that the first consultation did not go well, so you are going to try again to get some help from a non-biased third party.
Personally, I write stuff down and simply read the darn thing into my T's answering machine!
Good luck, Emmy
