How do you know you have the right psychologist??

Hi everyone

@Owlunar @saltandpepper @Shaz51 @Eve7 @BPDSurvivor @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @oceangirl @MDT @Emelia8 and anyone else reading along -

How do you know if you're psychologist is the right one for you? In the past 10 years I have seen 6 different psychologists. I saw one for 5 years but he decided he couldn't help me anymore so I had to find someone else. I saw one for 2 years who was very good and dealt with trauma. But then i couldn't afford seeing her so i had to stop. That's when i starting seeing someone at the local hospittal community centre. She is for free but looking back it's only talking to her; not much else. She doesn't have background in trauma therapy or DBT (dialetical behaviour therapy) or even helping someone with BPD (borderline personality disorder)

I have an appt to see her again in August as that was the earliest i could get in. But in the meantime I have been feeling that i needed someone much sooner, so I emailed my pscyh and he gave me a few names to see. I made an appt last week to see a guy called E. He basically asked lots of questions and gave me some deep breathing exercises to do when anxious. I had another appt today but a lot of it was about God and how he found God to help him with his trauma and depression and he told me he is on my journey with me to help me find me.

I walked out feeling like 'i don't know about this guy'. he seems very caring, understanding and friendly - but - i don't want to go in every week talking about God. Don't get me wrong, I am religious being Catholic but i don't understand why he mentions it so much.

He told me today that i need to trust him and he will help me.

The way i am at the moment i am confused; not sure if i should continue or see someone else. I have found another psycholgoist who delas with childhood sexual abuse, trauma, depression and uses DBT as therapy. Which is what i need for someone like me with BPD.

So, how do you know if you have the right person? and is it good to change every now and then?
