General questions/advice about therapists

Jermaine

Hello, everyone. I have questions.

  • How long did it take you to find a therapist who is right for you?
  • How did you know a therapist was right for you?
  • How did you know a therapist was not right for you?

That’s all. I’m struggling to know if my therapist is right for me, and I need advice.

  • Took me 4 years to trust my neuro-typical therapist and I have been seeing her weekly for over 9 years. I also see a neuro-divergent therapist that I see 4-5 times a year for 5 years, I trusted her within 5 minutes of meeting. Both are private. I was lucky because I live in Cumbria and it just so happens that my therapist had moved to Carlisle for family reasons from London. I also have to drive a long way to see my neuro-divergent therapist about 2 hours. I talk to my neuro-typical therapist online now because she moved again, which is much less emotionally nourishing than meeting in person.
