Choosing a therapist isn’t quite the same as plant shopping it has to be said, yet the transcendent quality often experienced within these bonds, will be as equally beneficial and rewarding.
Unlike plant shopping, potential clients are limited to choosing only one therapist to work with, as the inevitable clashes within ways of working, will function counter to the others approach, therapeutic processes and end results.
Just as no two plants are exactly the same, neither are therapists, we bring our whole selves to this work, our personalities, values, nature, quirks and sense of humour, which are as unique as our finger prints.
This is why finding a therapist you click with, one you feel safe and at peace with is so very important, as you will revisit your darkest moments with them.
Shopping around is essential in finding the person you are drawn too, passing on any that don’t fully align with your needs, preferences, personality and situation. Although a gentle decline, rather than radio silence is appreciated 😅
Having recently looked for a therapist for a family member, it was so interesting to be on the other side of this process.
One huge takeaway.. I went with my gut, listening to my intuition as to where it drew me and who felt ‘safe’ and made my heart feel ‘warm.’
It’s no coincidence that our felt sensing features so strongly in this initial process, as it’s the way of being that brings about healing itself, which happens once we feel safe, significant and warmly regarded in this beautiful process that is therapy.
