I think they shouldn't leave us feeling like they're analyzing us, they should help you feel comfortable. In my experience, I didn't think the PhDs analyzed too much. I like the therapists with other degrees, not social work. I don't dislike the social workers but I didn't feel like they knew what they were doing as much, they tend to just fill in the time with random conversation a lot, where the therapists with other degrees seem more able to understand the reasons I'm coming to therapy.
