My first therapist I saw semi-voluntarily?
My parents pretty much forced me to go see him, but I spoke to him honestly on my own. My mom already knew of him because he had helped her years ago with some trauma stuff, and at the time (I was 14) I guess I was showing signs of depression or something, so my mom thought it'd be helpful if I saw him. I think it took a while to get an appointment with him, but once we were able to get an intake appointment then everything was easy street. He was more of a talk therapist, so I only had to do an intake with him for the first session and after wards I saw him every week for about two months and he basically said I did not need therapy because I "seemed normal".

After I left therapy and came back a year afterwards, I was in hospital and upon my discharge they recommended that I see a DBT therapist for outpatient treatment, and that's how I met the therapist I have now.
