How do you know you have the right therapist for you? How would I know how to "train" my therapist to be able to give me what I need from treatment?
How would I know if I have the right therapist?
You will know when you have the right therapist if you feel like it is a "fit" for you. Trust your intuition! It is often accurate. However, if you are used to unhealthy relationships, the therapeutic relationship may feel uncomfortable at times. One of the best ways to "train" your therapist is to educate him/her about you. If something is important to you, tell him/her.
