I really don't think that you can fail at therapy ... as long as you go in there with an open mind and are willing to talk, then things should work out. If you just started therapy, i'd give it a little more time before you decide if you dont like it. Sometimes it takes a while for you to decide if your "clicking" with someone ... and if your not, thats okay too. You can always look for another one.
And the more questions you can ask the better imo, if you have trouble expressing it to them, you could even try writing some stuff down ... i know that's helped me before

Feel free to PM if you ever have any questions
