Trying to convince myself that it’s okay to find a new therapist just bc I simply don’t vibe with my current one. I just don’t wanna hurt his feelings. Silly, I know 🙃 but I get nothing out of our sessions and he talks so much that I’m pretty sure I know more about his life (and the lives of his other patients 😬) than he does mine.

Ummmmm that's weird that he talks about his patients. I would definitely mention that if he has a supervisor and yes it's totally fine! They're used to it 😊
ᗪ··
I don’t think he does. But yes, he doesn’t mention their names but he will talk about their problems and it almost feels judgy. It makes me uncomfortable bc I’m like...is he talking about me to others???
Mandy··
if he does it to others he probably does do it to you...that's super unprofessional.
ᗪ··
Yeah, I definitely agree. It’s literally every session, too.

It’s important to vibe with the person who cares for your mental health. I stopped seeing therapists as a teenager because I didn’t like them. I was hesitant about seeing another one. But this one is fantastic! I couldn’t have been matched with a better one
ᗪ··
Agreed! This is my first time and I didn’t know what to expect. But it’s been about 10 weeks and I’m feeling more annoyed than helped. So, I know I need to find someone else.
I’m glad you found someone! Gives me hope that I’ll find one that can help me.

Therapists?

I think you should interview other therapist. 😄 find the right fit and someone how helps you, he should be paying you! Lol
ᗪ··
Right?? Lol he’s also asked me how my husband was doing with the new baby and when I said he was fine he goes, “good. I always hated it when people would ask how my wife was and not me. What about me?” 😳 I should’ve been like, “and how does that make you feel?” 🙄
Stephanie··
lol don't give him any more money girl!
ᗪ··
@scidg3, Agreed. I’m going to look into finding someone else.

It’s totally okay to find a new therapist. It’s all about the vibe and fit. I used psychology today for a search and put in my insurance and what they specialize in as filters and found myself a dope psych. I emailed her and we talked a bit before we decided to take the journey together. It’s worth a shot
ᗪ··
I agree! Thanks! I’ll look into that! I just don’t know how to stop. Do I need to call my insurance, tell the therapist or just stop going?

if you don’t need a referral you can just fire his ass. Otherwise find someone and get the referral and then fire his ass
ᗪ··
I think I do need a referral. Last time, I just talked to my OB and she had someone call me. Everything is weird in the military so I never know what is different and what is just how it is everywhere else. Lol but I’m going to call my insurance tomorrow and talk with them.

You should definitely look for a new one! Therapists are not cheap and you don’t wanna waste your time hearing about other people’s problems. He should be helping you with yours.
