There were many things I would have changed in my first therapist. In the second one, and a feature common with the first: I think I would find therapy more satisfying and productive if the challenged me more directly more often. If they called me out on my defenses and BS upfront. I have never met a T who works this way though. I once had a sort of mentor in my recovery from an addiction who had that style, I loved it and found it very helpful for me. He was never harsh, just pointed out things clearly and politely and asked what I thought about it. With my Ts, it was mostly the other way around: I presented the analyses and insights and they provided feedback (if they did, not always). I still found therapy useful but this factor was always missing from it for me.
