Thank you. I do know what modality she uses: DBT. She has a license and a certification in DBT which is time consuming and expensive so she put a lot of effort into being an expert in a particular area of therapy. Her specialty is borderline personality disorder. I don't quite have that diagnosis apparently, but I sure have some traits. My emotions are all over the place. The last therapist had all those things too, but our personalities didn't mesh. She made decisions very quickly and I thought without enough investigation first. Really she seemed much more impulsive that I am.

If I ask the therapist directly: Do you make treatment decisions impulsively? She's going to say "no." So maybe I should come up with a scenario. On the one hand I don't want to scare the woman off during our first session, but on the other hand that other therapist was very stressful for me and I don't want to get into that situation again.

I'd also like to know how she handles anger.
