Choosing the Right Therapist
At some point in our lives, we all run into problems that seem too big or too persistent to handle alone. Yet our pride and fears can get in the way of asking for help. Making the decision to find help is a sign of strength and courage. And help is available. In fact, it can make the difference between feeling that things are spinning out of control and gaining new tools to turn life around in positive ways. Having taken that crucial first step to seek help, you may have some questions about therapy. You may wonder, for example, about sharing information that is very private – will it be kept confidential?
What is the best way to go about finding the right therapist? Professionals are ethically bound to keep what you say during sessions confidential. Therapists are bound by law to report information such as threats to self harm or to harm another person, for example.
Therapy is a collaborative process, so finding the right match someone who you have a sense of rapport with is critical. You may have to shop around before you find someone you are comfortable with. After you find someone, keep in mind that therapy is work and sometimes can be painful. But it also can be rewarding and life changing.
