I just came out of a therapy relationship that was a really bad fit for me. I actually liked her. She would probably have been fun to hang out with, but as a therapist not so much. One of her most aggravating traits was her tendency to listen to about 30 seconds of whatever problem I had, misunderstand it, and then tell me exactly what I needed to do to solve the problem. Then when I resisted this (as I think that any normal human being would) she would say that I needed to "trust the process."

I'm seeing a new one next week and I'm trying to think what kinds of questions to ask to see if she might be a good fit. What kinds of things do you ask a new therapist?
