It is true that many on this forum talk about negative reactions with therapists, but isn't one of the goals of this forum to have the safe space to explore that? What I am trying to say is that threads on this forum aren't likely to be representative of all therapeutic relationships.

But to answer the question, I expect a therapist to have the technical skills and training to support me and help me identify triggers.

My T meets my expectations. I feel more stable and able to be healthier with this T.
