I know why I feel uncomfortable...I don't trust them. Neither of them were incompetent as far as I know. But then again, I didn't exactly give them much to screw up with. ;-) Unfortunately, this hasn't been an up and down experience with either of them. I just seem to get to a certain point and then stop. My certain point just takes months to get to and happens to be what most people are able to discuss in their first session. I just don't feel that comfort or trust them to go beyond where I'm at. I'm just wondering if I'm not trusting them because they are female T's. In real life, I tend to trust guys and get along with them better then girls. There may also be other issues that I'm going to mention in my reply to GreySkyEyes.
