I'm not much use in suggesting questions as when I was choosing a T I just went in and talked and made my judgement on how it felt talking to them.

I am, among other things, being treated for c-PTSD, so a trauma based T would be good for me. I know I've not talked much about my past traumas on here, but they warrant a trauma-based T. I had read that CBT was geared more towards trauma.
So T1 (who I see twice a week), is psychodynamic
T2 (only about 6 sessions in with her) is CBT
potential T3 is also some CBT but also more somatic.
So I am dealing with a lot of depression, anxiety, marriage and life issues, but I am also dealing with who I am as a person because of my past experiences, and being raised in a very abusive home. It was the marriage issue that brought me to therapy to begin with, but I admit I should have started decades ago.... just to give you a little insight. So I AM in psychodynamic therapy right now, twice a week, and have recently started CBT with a different therapist once a week. My plan is to eventually just have one T. As attached as I am to T1, I don't think it's "in the cards" for me to stay with her indefinitely, considering I was retriggered by her actions and just can't seem to shake it off.
I definitely will keep y'all posted.
