@Dimity  This counsellor sounds quite dismissive for someone who's meant to be trauma-informed. Also the avoiding eye contact is a red flag for me. 

But I do think it's good you're giving her a second chance, just in case. I hope that after the second appt you will know clearly what to do. I agree that you don't want to be wasting your MHCP on someone who won't be good for you.
