Wow, I want to be your therapist, Amalie! Too bad I’m Covid-stranded over here.Online friend says you are toxic and manipulative. That’s pretty harsh, and not many people would hear it with an open heart. You said “I believe them.” I went back and read that twice. You’re ready to work.And, you want to see a therapist who can really help you, without doing a lot of job interviews, which is another way of saying you are will to do your research.That’s all I need to know. Just about any competent, experienced therapist would be delighted to get you. You are already to take a deep, long look at yourself, you’ve identified important areas for growth, and you know you deserve the best therapist possible.Let me reassure. I’ve worked with, taught, supervised, and been the client of countless therapists from many professions — psychology, clinical social work, advance practice nursing, etc., etc. The good news is that almost all of them are OK, and the majority are pretty good, and a few are excellent. Still, the most important factor in therapeutic success isn’t the therapist but the client. A motivated, hard-working client will make an average therapist look really great, whereas a client who doesn’t want to work will make Dr. Superpowers look lame and ineffective.You can go by recommendations from friends, websites, reputations of clinics, or referrals from doctors. You’ll probably end up with a therapist who is at least “good enough” to help you get where you want to go, the first one you interview. If you want to interview 3, maybe 4, I’m sure you’ll find somebody right for you.
