Id say your best chance is to try to engage even if the therapist cant avoid your red flag system. I feel that you are probably self-aware to a point that you can at least consider the idea that you may be responsible for being unrealistic and/or unreasonable.

Or, even if not unrealistic or unreasonable -- if that's the way that therapists are, and are going to be, and it seems to you like a good idea to try to get help for yourself somewhere, someway, and therapy is the best thing you know of to even try -- then, it may be annoying as heck but still better than nothing?? And putting up with the annoyances could be, well, at least kind of interesting or entertaining or informative sometimes?
That said, I don't go to therapy anymore. Life sucks, and then . . . But I'm not entirely sure that my life will continue to suck, even as old as I am, and so. . .keeping on, keeping on, I never know for sure what will happen. Or, maybe, what I'll luck into learning how to make happen for the better.
