Great article. I’ve had some amazing therapists, some awful ones, and a couple on between. I eventually came up with my own criteria for a therapist that works for me. Therapists are like shoes, you gotta find the right fit.
The bad ones can do a lot of harm.
Sometimes I didn’t have much choice, my insurance gave me a choice of 5 total, and 4 weren’t taking new clients.
My current therapist I’ve been with for over a decade. One day, he will be done, but I’m getting as much in as I can until then.
