The more I do therapy the better my life gets. I thought therapy was a joke. Because I had a bad therapist. I thought I could just get one and have it work out. Unfortunately there is a lot of finding the right therapist. I got lucky and on my third try I hit the nail on the head.
She has been so good. And told me I have amazing insight. Better than most. She actually complimented me. The first guy I had spent all his time telling me about 60s music and YouTube videos. She has actual ideas.
I’ve just been feeling really good the past two weeks. I’ve been doing stuff every day which never happens. I’ve been painting (I’ll attach a picture), writing music, and playing video games.
I’m really happy for you, i wish i could see a therapist but i dont think they’d do that for me, i think they just want me to take my pills and play along.
May I know what’s the best way to try different therapists? Like just tell the current one sorry but I think we don’t fit each other and ask them to refer to a new one? Or just cancel the appointment and book a random new therapist.
my therapist also awful.when i was talking about my problems he just talked about i have to be persevere and love god.he never talked anything about cbt or another things that really help my prognosis
Look for a new one while you still have one and just call em up, see if they take your insurance and try to get a good one. Some places are nicer than others and just have better staff. It’s all about how it’s managed.
A bad therapist can give it a bad name. But eventually you find one that you really connect with and respect their view. It’s just like making a new friend. You either like them or you prefer to stay away.
