I have seen several therapists over the years. Some were okay some were terrible! I just recently quit my last therapist. She was the best one I've had; but our sessions just weren't going anywhere. Our sessions had simply become what I have described as "rent-a-friend". I'm thinking about whether to give therapy another try. I have 2 questions I'd like to pose regarding therapy.

1.) What is the goal of your therapy? Is it to make needed change(s) in your life? Is it to deal with "family of origin" issues? Is it to deal with your current emotional issues?

2.) Do you tell / talk with your therapist about everything? Or are there aspects of your life that you don't even share with your therapist? If so, what effect, if any, do you feel this has on the success or lack thereof of your therapy?
