I have "shopped" a lot of psychotherapists to try to find one I am compatible with, and I find they ask a lot of the same questions, which are often passive aggressive questions.

I complained that I don't have a lot of friends right now, and numerous therapists then ask me: "Have you ever had any friends?" Isn't that a passive aggressive leap of logic? Just because something is going badly in my life now doesn't indicate it has ALWAYS gone badly for me. Imagine if a person needed counselling for a spouse who died in a car crash. Would the therapist ask: HAVE ALL OF YOUR FORMER SPOUSES AND GIRLFRIENDS/BOYFRIENDS DIED IN ACCIDENTS? That isn't even a logical question, so why is asking me about my chronic friendlessness logical?

I find psychotherapists are not very logical, original, clear thinkers nad many of their questions are PRESCRIBED QUESTIONS they are supposed to ask. THEY ALL ASK EXACTLY THE SAME QUESTIONS.
