how do you - find a therapist who's a good fit - know a therapist is a good fit - establish a relationship with a good therapist ^ specifically re: that last one, WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN, WHAT DOES IT ENTAIL, do i need to be asking questions about their dog, establish a rapport?

the evidence suggests that the relationship to the therapist matters more than anything else seems an issue that people who struggle to identify and create relationships will struggle the most with getting therapy to work. and people even compare finding a therapist to dating...

I mention it a bit at the end of this article, but not sure if it's sufficient on its own to go into details.

I struggle sometimes with recommending people go to therapy these days unless I can help them find a good one, but I want people looking for therapy to at least know what is "normal bad" vs "worse than normal." Proper expectations can save lives. daystareld.com/the-bad-therap

Generally I'd say that it's actually the therapist's job, not the client's, to "establish a relationship." All the client is supposed to do is show up and be as honest and vulnerable as they feel comfortable being.
