I have to say I really cannot relate to your strategy for choosing a therapist. Good therapists can be hard to find, no doubt, but it sounds to me like you're trying to paint with a hammer. Let go of the whole notion of method, let go of trying to see if they're erudite enough for you and just pay attention to how you feel in their presence and how they respond when you talk about yourself. Good effective therapy is a lot less about the method/modality than about the relationship. Is there a chance that your fear is getting in the way of giving someone a real chance?
