Thanks for this. You mentioned this about being judged and I think to me this is the core to why I think about this issue at all.
Itīs not that I find my therapist judgemental but indirectly I would perhaps feel that way if I know that she actually had very different opinions on matters that are important to me.
She doesnīt seem like a person whoīs very politically engaged, itīs an impression I have, I donīt really know. Itīs not that I think sheīll create some kind of political debate but more that I perhaps realise she votes for the opposite wing and the difficulty in how to handle that.

If I felt my t was judgemental and moralistic in a narrow and dogmatic way I would view that as incompatible with helping me reach my personal goals. You could use a therapist in a narrow way that can disregard their politics but many of us look at the whole person.
