> As a practicing Psychotherapist for over 25 years,

I'm trying to find a therapist after about 20 intermittent years of disappointing therapy experiences.

I find CBT trite ( https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/07/16/cbt-in-the-water-suppl... )

But psychodynamic is directionless and in a way that never seems to help either, and hides behind the lack of measurement. It could be amazing with a wise Irvin Yalom figure, but 99% of us aren't interacting with somebody that thoughtful.

How well, generally, do you think therapy works? What works best?
