how to find a good therapist

I unexpectedly was referred to a new therapist and it’s early but…I felt seen, I felt heard, she got me. I’m only seeing her weekly but I felt tremendously relieved after doing so.

A big difference from the last real therapist I had is that there was no beating about the bush this time; I felt a connection, I felt I could trust her with the things I wanted to talk about and deal with. That plus I’m old. I don’t have loads of time the way I did ten years ago when I started with my then therapist.

But yeah. Surprised, but happy. I hope this lasts.

That is really good. I have to find a new one. Dreading it.

any way we could move this thread to 77? would like to contribute but would prefer to do so on the less public board.

I’m in favour of that, yeah. Do we need to ask someone?

Have I mentioned itt that I can't believe someone hasn't set up Therapist Speed Dating? I mean for real it would be amazing to be able to get to get a 10-minute rapport check before committing. . .

That would be an excellent idea.

Too bad all the good ones are taken….
