So, here is my take on the therapy thing.
#1 NO good therapist should judge you on anything but the impact its having on your own life and being.
#2 NO good therapist should relate your experiance to anothers experiance directly without context and research into you and your exact interactions, reasons, and usage or alike.
#3 NO good patient give the above should withold any information knowingly from a good therapist.
Therapy is a 2 way street, you need a therapist that is willing to do the work and explore the exact interactions with things in relations to you personally, and do so without bias towards you or in realation to other things they have read or from other clients, each person is different and holding a bias based on anothers outcome or experiance is not always the best option.
That said, you as a patient need to be open to the therapist and allow them to have the information to make the unbiased observations that they are there to do. You are there to gain insight from a 3rd parties point of view on your internal (and likely biased and skewed internal) views. Thier take/view/sugesstions are why you are there. If you are there just to let out things and not get any information back, i suggest you insted invest in a diary.
You both need to trust one another to be open and unbiased in exploring things, good, bad, or otherwise. Take on the difficult task of opening up and then actually trying sugesstions as they come up and figure out what works and what does not work.
Also a good therapist that is a good fit is hard to find, dont be afraid to switch to another one if the experiance is feeling stagnant or unfulfilled or even downright hostile to you, there is no one right fit between therapist and patient.
