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?
You should like and trust your counselor. Sounds like a big ole DUH. But you will not believe the number of people I have met with that have described their past counselor as totally opposite than me or someone who didnt get me or had totally opposing beliefs as me. Suggestion to the masses, do your research prior to entering counseling! If you are someone who often cusses and is abrasive, you might not want to pick the counselor who is highly professional and uses sophisticated language throughout their site. Pick someone who is more in line with your personality and wants for your future.And even if you do your research beforehand and figure out you arent vibing after a few sessions, thats okay! Let your counselor know this, and who knows there might be something that can be done to make you feel more comfortable or maybe there isnt. But the good thing to note is that there are thousands of human helpers in your city and your counselor would be happy to provide you with a referral to a better fitting therapist.View full post here: https://www.therapybyshannon.com/blog-2/2019/1/14/7-things-counseling-should-and-shouldnt-be
