I think in my humble opinion, that therapists are just like friends. Some work for you, and some don't. One therapist compared the process to finding the right shoe. It's about fit. You are the one that decides which therapist fits just right for you.
I had a few I won't be going back to. There is one I constantly go to because of a strong feeling of fit. I get enormous support and understanding and what i need from this particular therapist.
PS - My sibling I'm estranged from? The one that said, "I don't love you.." etc? He's a middle school counselor. His wife? A high school counselor. Yet, they refuse to go to counseling with my wife and I.
Having the badge of therapist or counselor doesn't always mean what you say is pure gold. Just my two cents!
