I´m going to meet with a new T this September and when I saw she´s only a psychologist and not a psychotherapist I feel the need to really specify what I need from her.


I would want some advice in how to phrase what I need so I doesn´t end up in a list of general qualifications that most counsellors can add up to.

Some of the things I need from a new T are:


* Being able to understand and work through transference, also erotic transference.

* Being able to understand reactions, as anger towards her, and being able to handle negative emotions towards her.

* Someone who doesn´t only aims for insights but also knows how to connect issues to my life outside therapy and talk about improvement strategies.

* Someone who shows a lot of understanding, empathy and shares about herself as part of the therapeutic work.

I would want this more specified by exemplifying how the therapist is supposed to work with me in the therapy room. It would be great with some therapeutic terms and descriptions that makes it even more clear what I´m looking for.

Grateful for help on this!
