I've never explictily chosen a therapist but in the future I plan to be more proactive in this regard.
My first was a young women, only a few years older than I. She was fine - except that she was new and let her own emotions interfer with the process. Basically, I made her cry - in front of me.
Then I saw a psychologist that opened the DSM and tried to diagnose me. I disliked that and didn't go back.
Then the husband and I saw a therapist that specialized in military and PTSD patients. She never remembered what we said - we had to cover the same stuff over and again. She gave us homework and then forgot that she gave it to us. Basically, she was useless - even though on paper she had perfect resume.
It's been kinda hit and miss.
I really support the idea that therapy should be like a mental check up. It's not permant. You go when you are 'sick' and then get better until you get a new 'sickness'.
