I was wondering how you'd seperate the good from the bad therapists, psychologists,....
I've seen a couple of them and only the one I'm seeing now is better than the ones I've seen before ( they were all qualified though).
This one doesn't tell me how to live my life, he just asks me questions to make see things from a different point of view.
In the past it was more like: you need to find this kinda job. I was: I've done it before and it's just nothing I like and then she replied: we all have to do things we don't like.
Bad therapists also have something in common: when there's no click and the "patient" ( don't like that word though) cancels the next session, they say: you don't want any help. They never seem to analyze themselves.
I've also heard many cliches. When my grandpa died, a therapist said: I know it's hard, but think about the good memories.
Well maybe I'm difficult and maybe their approach works for other people, but not for me.
