I liked the kind of therapy that had a sort of outline, like the mindfulness therapy - we would talk if I wanted, or she would teach me new meditations, sometimes hypnotic and very insightful.

Also I went to therapy to help deal with parenting my bp teen on drugs, and there was very much an outline there. Talk therapy if I wanted, and then handouts and information on addiction, parenting, communication, etc. But then that therapist broke up with me she just moved, i could still go to her if i need to in future. but her son is dating my daughter and that's probably a conflict of interest anyway lol.
