Two questions, similar ideas...

Is there a type of person that therapy may just not work for? I'm not thinking with a certain history or diagnosis, but more overall personality traits and characteristic. (ie. inpatient, defensive, overly sensitive, can't articulate feelings...)

What specific ways can therapists help combat those issues? For example using art/play therapy for those of us who think more creatively, going on walks for people who like to be active, out-of-session contact for those who struggle with once a week, giving homework if you like having tangible assignments...)

Sorry if that doesn't make sense!
