Most of my experiences with therapists have been good. The only ones who didn't like were the ones that were too emotional with me. I prefer strength in my therapists. I don't want someone to feel sorry for me. I need someone who will guide me, lead me, and kick me in the butt every now and then.

I had one particularly bad one who started telling me about her own abuse. Yuck. I ran the other direction. I had another who just wanted to pat me on the back and say poor you. Creeped me out. Both happened to be female, thus the reason I refuse to see female therapist any more. I'd had enough.

I need a therapist who will really talk to me. I don't do well with one who passively sits back and expects me to lead the whole session. I'm too shy for that. I need more interaction than that.
