How to Know if Your Therapy Is Working
You are looking for someone who is a good fit with your personality. You want someone who can complement or balance your weaknesses. If you are cerebral, you might want somebody who has an appreciation of your nonverbal passion. If you are overly emotional, you want someone who can explain your emotions to you.
.. Be wary of anyone who insists on overly exploring the past, or blaming others, including your parents. Run from someone overly formal or aloof. Therapy can, and should, be fun.
Watch out for somebody who doesn’t answer direct questions—if they try to turn it around and talk about why you are asking. You should feel free to ask relevant questions and expect direct answers.
