So like I’ve been looking for a therapist recently and I feel stuck. The one I had been seeing threw me out after 3 years pretty suddenly. And I’ve been looking for a new one ever since…
Unfortunately I keep finding ones I either just don’t click with or are just flat out terrible.
So like do any of you have specific things you look for in a pdoc/therapist?? Any suggestions of how to find a good one??
I look for a psychiatrist that encourages you to follow your dreams. I searched for a year until I found a psychiatrist that said he believed I can get a doctorate in math so he even prescribed me adderall to help me study and said he hoped to see me as a doctor one day. Look for a doctor that helps you follow your dreams.
i need pdoc to be open to things. not like focused on particular stuff. Like wants to look for all stuff that is going on in your life and makes decision based on that, not want to be done with it too quickly.
Frankly in all the ones ive had (and they change frequently) - one that agrees with me when i wanna up or lower my dosages. Im the one suffering with this disease and taking them - so i expect them to take my opinion seriously.
As I have no say in which pdoc I see I don’t look for anything re choosing who I do or don’t see. I do hope for certain things i.e he/she is polite,reasonable, intelligent,not into character assassination,not dismissive.
