I don't have much to contribute to this thread but I am a consumer and to tell you the truth, I went to a T believing they might help me. Selecting a T is not like buying a car. When buying a car you compare which one rides better, has better mileage or is safer. There is no consumer guide to therapists is there? I don't see how you can blame a client seeking help for choosing a bad therapist. It is a roll of the dice. If a T does not like a client, for whatever reason, they should tell them, not string them along. It is for sure that a client who does not click with a T will not be returning.
