You made an interesting point. Could you please explain more in detail what you mean by "trying to paint with a hammer". I canīt completely ignore the method as there are several kinds of therapy that wonīt suit me. For example rythmics therapy.
Because of that I have to ask them about how they practise therapy. But I agree with you itīs also much about the feeling you get when you talk to a new T. I try to look at that perspective as well as how likely it is they will be able to help me based on their knowledge and experience. You canīt get any guarantees but Iīm extra cautious because of my therapy history.

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?
