Good question. My T was found by the yellow pages. Called many before. No call back. Left a message on this anwering machine and receptionist phoned back. Had an appointment that week. Oh I hated him. Did not go back till a few months after. Walked in when in crisis. Asked if could see someone else. Told not because of insurance stuff. Anyway he saw me for 10mins that mad another appointment. Anyway still did not like him for many weeks. Finally this person realized what needed and he worked around that. Today he is the best ever. Took much courage on my part but also patience and understanding on his. You also asked what do people look for in a T? Well you know I look for understanding,belief,trust,patience,caring. Also here there are times that will need to phone so someone that understands that and calls back within a reasonable amoutn of time. He at first waited hours to call back. Now he calls right after session is done. Do not call often but he knows need this at times. This person is taking a risk with me and has proven that. Could not tell you what he is willing to do for me to get through this. Wish everyone had this good caring in their life.
