How much time have you spent with helpful therapists, neutral therapists, and damaging therapists?

I've had a LOT of therapists. I've been in therapy since early 2008 and met with a total of 25 therapists one or more times. Only 11 of those have been for more than 4 sessions, so I consider myself to have had 11 therapists.

I've had a lot of therapists who have overall done more damage than help (seven). They total about 19 months.

A lot of therapists have been kinda neutral, like meh.

I've had five good therapists, but the first four totalled only 9 months. I had to stop meeting with all of them, not by choice (one moved, one was in the hospital, that type of thing).

Then I met my current therapist, who is an amazing fit and has helped SO much. Now I've been meeting with him for 30 months and I'm SO glad I found him. He gets how my brain works better than anyone else. It took long enough to find him, that's for sure!
