Therapy is only as good as the therapist, and it's difficult to gauge if a therapist will be any good for one particular person. Getting the right therapist is critical for therapy to 'work'. Same applies for meds. But generally, it's about helping a person help themselves.
- klyrs 4y agoI'd amend that to "only as good as the client-therapist fit." A good therapist for you might be terrible for me. Which is why it's so damned hard to find a good therapist. It takes a few sessions to even figure out if this person is going to help. Several months and thousands of dollars later, you might get to start on the work.
