Sounds like you were really comfortable with this guy, and he was asking all the relevent questions, and you covered a lot of ground. Because of that I sure wouldn't give up on him. I'd give it time to see where it goes over the next 3 - 4 appointments, and then determine if it's headed in the right direction. I agree that the type of therapy is far less important than the connection you make with the therapist. Anyway, the last therapist I went to was supposed to be CBT, and I told him I didn't want CBT, so we did insight oriented, although he did some CBT which was fine. I have no idea what my current T does, but I know we're not doing CBT.
Good luck figuring it all out!
