I don't think he is a bad therapist---I think he sounds like genius! I have never, myself, or, seen anyone else walk out after a first session and say: "I got what I wanted", "I feel good", "recovery is refreshing" "I am ready to get back to life" . How did it go from this to "I must have picked the wrong one"??? In a matter of hours?
Is this me......or am I being punked??

I got what I wanted out of it because I got the answer directly from my AH, it had nothing to do with the therapist as I could have asked my AH that question at home but I wanted a witness to his answer at this point. I felt good because I am working my recovery, period. I may have picked the wrong therapist because I find his approach to be anti-Al Anon and I don't see how putting behavioral restrictions on my AH is going to benefit anyone. So, all in all, I'm sure it's one of those 'take what you like and leave the rest' approaches.
