[quote=Anonymous]This is an industry people usually get into as a form of healing their own wounds. As such, it can be tough to find someone competent and caring who you feel comfortable with.

You'll need to shop. Three counselors really isn't that much. You can easily "fail out of" a dozen while looking for someone who's a good fit, and even someone you previously worked well with might not have the skillset/modalities you need for new issues.

A lot of those intake forms are pretty standard. I get that it's an overwhelming slog through places a lot of us would rather not revist over and over and over... If you've already done 3 of them, get a copy of your file and compile a "master intake form". Take this to your next therapist, and explain that needing to rehash your issues just to get in the door is overwhelming, so you've made a standardized form, and would be happy to provide any specifics that form may not include.

But you're gonna need to shop. In a way, while you're not going to have a personal relationship with your counselor/therapist, it's a lot like making a new friend. Not everyone you meet is a good match. Know that upfront; it's part of the process.[/quote]
