Approach hiring a counselor/therapist like you would any other important decision. What makes a “good fit”?
Personality, temperament, communication style, basic core values, spiritual beliefs or lack of, etc. Religion or politics may matter to you, etc. Traditional, Feminist, Liberal, Conservative, sex, gender, culture-only you know what you need to feel to be comfortable to allow someone access to your most vulnerable “soft spots” to help you turn them into strengths…………..
It is important to know the type of mental health behaviors they specialize in; EMDR is the most recent type of therapy I’m familiar with that has a high success rate and seems to bring relief from symptoms by re-framing the experiences and/or emotions. There ARE great folks out there!!
