I’ve had therapists come into my life and I’ve had them go out of my life.
Looking back, I think my every therapist has been excellent.
Here’s what I’ve appreciated in them:
* They’ve made it easy to connect with them. I’ve never felt like I had to put up fences or pretenses. They’ve never preached at me. They’ve never pronounced damning judgment.
* When they’re late, they’re appropriately apologetic. Timeliness is very important to me. Tardiness is theft.
* They ease me out of my story while never fighting my need to talk.
