Given all the items on this forum relating to the various types of therapies and therapists many of us have tried, I found this therapist's site to be a promising guide to help navigate some of the territory. Having gone through several therapists myself, I wish I'd run into something like this earlier...although my current therapist is head and shoulders above all that came before.
Anyway, the site is:
http://www.myshrink.com/
Like many sites, there's some material that is offered commercially, but the free articles and materials are thorough without being "dry" or overly academic. Just using the top menu selections will lead to lots of useful articles covering an array of topics regarding the therapist/client relationship.
Thanks, woodsgnome! I'm going to check this out right now as I will be entering therapy soon, and don't know who I'll get as therapist yet (it's an HMO).
