You probs already know this, but definitely share how you’re thinking with your therapist. They can help figure out other areas you might want to work on and/or an “exit plan”. That’s totally normal and a part of the process.
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.
Good post. Group therapy is a good example of other ways to work with people
At the end of the day when trying to heal someone’s mental anguish you gotta do what resonates for them.
Material conditions matter. Someone comfortable surrounded by others / community? Great, go with group. Someone isolated down to the individual? They’re going to feel safe 1:1.
