Make a list while not with a therapist -- what do you want to fix? Another way to start is checking if you match these (though you could be suffering from one and not even recognise it by reading the abstract description): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maladaptive_schemas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_maladaptive_schemas -- if you match any, this is a great place to start, regardless of the therapy affiliation. I really like Schema Therapy, though I've only seen one therapist qualified in it, and while she started great -- gave me a long questionnaire that pointed out my maladaptive schemas I already knew were present(she made me feel "wow, finally, a great professional, just like I read in the manual they should be"), she just didn't stick at all to the Schema Therapy session protocol I read in the manual and the sessions just devolved into the usual "so how have you been since our last session .... bla bla bla ... you're making great progress" that I'm all too familiar with all the therapists that I know. So whatever therapy you choose, try to find a therapist that's also sticking to the therapy method.
