What does a T who doesn't care look like? It's more what they sound like and say. I have had the misfortune of having therapists who had their own cure all therapies that they developed and/or who had published books and thought they were brilliant. They were more concerned about proving their theories and selling their books than successfully treating their patients. Don't be a guinea pig for a T's self-centered theories. Their focus should be on successfully treating their patients.
Another sign? I had a therapist who used to pop anti-d's during his sessions. A depressed therapist is a big no-no regardless of how well intentioned they are.
I am now also wary of therapists who tell their personal stories during a session. It's not their session; it's the patient's session.
