Finding a therapist can be as challenging as the problem that drives us to seek therapy in the first place.
Two clients enter the therapist's room with the same issue and circumstance, yet their paths to resolution can differ.
Why? Because YOU, the client, are the key variable. What works for one person may not work for another.
Finding the right therapist involves more than just selecting a therapy modality and evaluating a therapist’s experience, skills, and qualifications. It begins with understanding your own expectations, goals, and preferences for therapy.
You will learn to develop your very own care philosophy, which will help you better assess your options. Once you’ve completed with your internal homework, it’s time for action. You will go therapist shopping and interview your shortlisted therapists to check for preference alignment and assess the overall vibe.
The whole idea of structuring this process is all about making empowered decisions: Knowing that you are not the client with no power, you have options, and you can decide as much as the therapist.
This eBook is a personal endeavour of Dr. Magdalen Cheng to address client-therapist compatibility and help individuals navigate the common dilemma of therapy and therapist options, with the hope of potentially shifting the perspective around seeking therapy.
