I wondered if people would post here about their relationships with their Therapists (T's). I'm interested in all aspects.

How you found yours, did you shop around?
What the first appt was like?
When did you know it clicked, or not?
Male or female selection and why?
Age difference and did it matter?
Their personal style...open, warm, formal,stiff, etc.
Type of therapy; CBT, psychoanalytic, eclectic (little bit of everything), couples, group, who-knows-it-helps, etc.
Transference issues, if any
How long you've been going
Anything else you feel like sharing.

It's such an important relationship for many of us and I don't see it discussed much here. Seems like it might be helpful, especially to people who don't have much experience in therapy.
