I've had two. The first one I only saw two or three times, and she was CBT. I just wasn't that into CBT. I've been seeing my current one for about six months, and she just does the regular talk therapy.
I put 3, though i guess i should have put 4, as i saw one with my mother (he was her T), and twice on my own, though it was so inconsequential that i don't even count it.

The longest T relationship i had was 5.5 years, and i probably stayed a few years too many, but I just didn't know.

I saw another T concurently with that T. She was an EMDR T, and for a few months, I saw both T's at the same time (with my long term T's office). Then I moved to seeing my long term T one week, EMDR T another week. I didn't do much EMDR because i didn't find it helpful. I had no major trauma to focus on.

And now I am with current T, which is a MUCH better fit, and I've seen her for 7 months.
