This was the most validating post to me so far.

It depends on the therapist (e.g. personality, training, skill), on the client (e.g. personality, presenting issues), on the type of therapy or technique(s) used, on how we 'click' with our therapist etc. etc. There are just too many variables involved..
And the most informative to me so far.

But all the posts have helped!!
Thanks for this!
