I saw a psychiatrist back in the '60's for about 8 months, and he did the blank slate thing. He would never really talk to me. Every time I asked him a direct question, he would not answer but ask ME a question. Frustrated the hell out of me! I think that's psychoanalysis, the Freud thing. It sounds your old T was more psychodynamic so that might be good to aim for.

that was the problem with the old guy. He would not even answer a direct question about his approach! I asked him about his outlook and methods and he looked at me and said, It might be.
So the slate was completely blank. Creepily so. I could not take it. Absolutely freaked me out. Others might think it's great; I don't. However, what was really difficult to deal with was his "incitements," like hanging the pictures in his office upside down, calling me on the weekend from his home phone and yet demanding that I return his call at his office number, the list goes on. I won't bore you.
I am now on the hunt again for someone who works in an eclectic way, takes my insurance, and is fairly interactive. I see myself with a woman, but would be open on gender, but not the blank slate.
Wish me luck..I need it!
