and this is exactly why public forums like this can so beneficial...
when i first started therapy, i was incredibly naive and had no f'n clue what to expect. it was coming here and reading all the good, the bad and the ugly experiences that others were willing to discuss and i learned quite a bit of what good vs poor therapy should be about. it definilty helped to encourage me to learn as much as i could so i could speak up and advocate for myself when my gut was screaming at me that something in the relationship with my therapist or therapy just didn't feel right.
