therapy

Sooo many misconceptions about and aversions to therapy. 

How to improve this?

One of the first things I say when working with new clients is that it can take a while to find the right therapist and to keep an open mind about therapy in general. So many people have a bad experience with a therapist and can then generalize to the field

That’s true - I know a few people who’ve had bad experiences that have put them off. I think it’s also being able to trust their instinct to step away from a dynamic that doesn’t feel right to one that does instead of staying in the dynamic or swearing the whole thing off

💯 I have a friend who’s therapist told him that if he drops to just one session a week vs two he can’t see him anymore. I mean, some pretty intensely messed up dynamics can emerge

Yes and I acknowledge that there’s a power dynamic that makes it a lot harder to come to the conclusion that it’s not the right fit
