The issues with the therapists (that aren't issues in my community): 1. not generative enough - they aren't asking questions that i haven't already asked myself 2. stuck in old paradigms/inflexible, unable to see and adjust to what I need

A lot of this stuff is 'in the water' - my community has sort of a generalized intuitive grasp about how to debug stuff. Some are doing effective self-training;
@QiaochuYuan did a 40 min session with me and it was more useful than my 3 hours of therapy combinedShow this thread

What techniques do y'all use?

It's actually hard for me to pinpoint? One example that comes to mind is something like generally high precision - 'where is that in your body' or spending a lot of time finding exactly the right word.

In my experience, a therapist is a good soundboard for me. I need someone not connected to my life at all to help put things in perspective.

if you haven't been to more than three sessions you can't actually say shit. That's not how therapy works. This tweet is a disservice.

Yes you really can. Not all therapists are created equal. Can you say after a few sessions if therapy is likely to help you? Depends. EG: therapist talks the whole time, therapist doesn't have credentials, therapist tells you you need to find Jesus to solve problems etc.
