They say find the right therapist because there are different approaches and personalities. Older therapists tend to be more rigid, but that’s changing as they age out and retire. You have to find someone you feel comfortable opening up to.
With approaches, CBT and ACT worked for me. They’re more outcome based and also have more structure that works with how I think.
What the fuck? I don’t have to ‘find the right doctor’.
You honestly kind of do. Second opinions aren’t uncommon. I’ve had a couple shitty GPs.
The wrong doctor gets sued for malpractice and loses his license. Why are there ‘wrong therapists’?
Happens to therapists all the time, same as doctors. The records are public in a lot of states too, which is another way they’re kept accountable.
There are definitely wrong doctors. That’s where the expression getting a second opinion comes from.
Go to any women’s forum and you will see tons of post about women who left their doctor because they refused to give them tubal litigation or they were suffering for years with severe pain that they were told was normal only to find out they have a huge cyst or something similar.
I’m sure this isn’t an experience exclusive to women, but it happens a lot.

Because the brain and mind are far less well understood and mapped out than the physical body and the illnesses and injuries it can suffer is?
It doesnt seem like that complicated of an answer to figure out.
Yeah. Therapy is not a silver bullet, it gives you the skills to deal with your problems and helps you understand your issues in context.
