Dr. Margaret answers common questions about therapy, such as, "Why do I want my therapist to like me?" Or, "How do I leave therapy?"
Today’s SelfWork was inspired by feedback from members of my FB group when I asked for potential topics - and they suggested Answering Your Questions About Therapy.
So.. what were the questions?
1) How to be real with your therapist about what’s not working...
2) Why do I want to feel that my therapist likes me?
3) How do I handle the fear that I’m “too much” for my therapist?
4) How to leave therapy...
Everyone in every profession has an innate or learned comfort level and interest in certain kinds of work. Therapists are no different. And clients also have “kinds” of therapists they prefer and want to work with. Today I'll answer these questions about therapy and more!
The Speakpipe voicemail for this week left me with several thoughts about the impact of chronic trauma and the lives of people who are living it, and at times, may be creating it.
