This website is a good start. The wrong therapist can do more harm than good.

I didn't know how to talk with a therapist. I thought I was supposed to tell her all the "bad" things about me so she could analyze them. She felt uncomfortable. I felt like saying I know a good therapist for you.

If one is politically correct ... polite .... then how is the therapist going to know what's bothering you if you don't open up to them about the things that need therapy to make me a better person.
