I had been in "talk therapy" as a teen and hated it. I didn't know how to tell my mom or the therapist. I'm now in my 30s and had problems with hating everyone and snapping at them, including family. I went to the Employee Assistance Program person who listened to my major issues and suggested a T for me that was in a group with a Pdoc should I need meds.

The T had me fill out an intake form and then asked me all of the same questions in person. He suggested trying CBT. For me, it was the ideal thing. My therapy is goal oriented, not talk oriented. I do find, however, that sometimes I do really well after a session and sometimes I seem to take a few steps backwards.

The other thing I've done is I've written down a list of issues, be it meds or situations. In the past, I've found that writing things was much easier than saying them. You can then hand the T or Pdoc the paper and they'll know what's happening without you having to try and say it.

Finally, if you don't think this T is good for you, tell (or write) it to the T. Most Ts understand that they aren't the right one for everyone. Don't just settle because you think you have to stay with the same one you started with.

Sorry if this is off-topic, but I wanted to say it.
