I have interviewed over 30 some odd of them this last go around and found 2 I could tolerate. I am having an interesting experiment, but I would not say they are particularly useful for what I originally sought therapy for and certainly most therapy is not a efficient way of resolving anything that I have seen. I also found CBT to be worthless, patronizing and pointless for me. It is a method some others find useful.

I completely agree with your comments, stopdog. Therapy might be helpful or useful for some but not for everyone. It is very possible for someone to not be helped in therapy and that doesn't automatically translate to a problem with the client.
LifeIsCruel-I'm sorry that the one person who was helpful for you is someone you can't meet with in a therapy setting. I know how frustrating and painful it is to try to find adequate help. Are you still looking for a therapist at this point? I hope you find the peace that you so deserve.
