How to judge therapists

1 post in this topic

My old therapist found dogs scary because of a childhood trauma which I found weird. I judged her in my head and felt guilty that I judged her. My thought process was like this: "how is she going to help me if she hasn't fixed her own traumas?". Is it healthy to judge professionals this way? I felt guilty and I suppressed it and now I'm with a new therapist and I'm seeing similar red flags.

I've talked to a lot of therapists and a lot of them don't know what they are talking about (purely an opinion and nothing more). Seems like most therapists only study for their university courses and when they are finished they don't really do self-help and own research.

Finding a stage yellow therapist is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I don't have time or money for that. Most therapists don't even know about meditation or about subconscious work: I have to do it myself. I'm really going to therapy for emotional support; with my real problems like overthinking, apathy, dissociation they can't help me with. So my question really is how to deal with these kind of therapists? I'm really not trying to judge them. Currently I use them for emotional support, accountability, feedback and reflection. It is much better than having no therapist; if I didn't get anything out of the sessions I wouldn't go.
