Aegis said something in another thread that got me thinking.

I wouldn't waste my money talking about an issue like this, but that just me...

Reading through the posts I notice how different, then again how alike we are at what we struggle with therapy/therapists for. I'm guessing we could be diagnosed by what out T issues are or T requirements are.

Before being dx'd bipolar I called myself a two-stepper, swing dancer. So, I need a T skilled in decision making skill instruction. Then decision made--I need to stick my landing! Commitment/relationship coach!

But I have no abandonment or abuse issues, so scratch those ...

I bet some overachieving Harvard MBA wannabe with an EXCEL sheet has done this. Link anyone?

I didn't have any T requirements going into this, I was assessed and given to the guy that I have now. Not sure if that's good or bad. He seems like the kind of person that I could tell ANYTHING to, so I figure that's a good thing.

T issues: If given the choice between attaching to him or setting him on fire... I'll be the one desperately clawing at my pockets, trying to find a book of matches. Ok, not true, I wouldn't ever hurt another person and he's a nice guy. But I don't want to be attached to or dependent upon him in any way.

I went thru a period of believing that my pdoc didn't think there was any hope of improving my depression & simply decided to try every med on me to discover all their side effects since I'm so good at revealing them. I decided if I got close enough I would seriously bite him. No arteries, just back of his hand. Something visible & bloody. No, I didn't.

The think is, that was hypo manic curtesy of antidepressants. I'd been thinking we'd just had it with each other & I needed a referral.

I'm not sure what worksheet you are looking for. Is it to link what one desires in a therapist to the mental disorders a person has? So for example if I say I don't want my T to ask prying questions, then that might signify I have avoidant traits?
