I think the personality of the therapist is very important. If you meet someone you like and feel that you can get along with, that makes all the diference. But not everyone "clicks" with their therapist, and finding one that you feel is genuine, sincere, and perhaps similar to yourself can be an arduous task, and sometimes take a very long time.
