Should I tell them that my past few Ts all decided that my needs were too big for them, or is that like jinxing myself?

Here's some questions I came up with for myself:

How will you help, what is your specific plan, method, etc?
What exactly is your role?
What is your emotional involvement style?
What is your approach to reviewing previous therapy experiences, especially negative or problematic ones?
Position on psych meds (for me a general barometer)?
How many sessions before determining if it's good fit?
Thanks for this!
