​

Choosing the right therapist is a crucial step in the therapeutic process, and your questions and feelings are valid considerations. The therapeutic relationship forms the foundation of successful therapy, and finding a therapist who aligns with your needs and creates a safe, supportive space is essential.

​

Here are some key points to consider:

​

1. Safety and Comfort: Feeling safe and comfortable during sessions is vital. A good therapist will create an environment where you can express yourself without judgment and with a sense of security.

2. Genuine Interest and Understanding: A therapist should demonstrate genuine interest in your experiences and show understanding. Feeling heard and understood is fundamental to building trust.

3. Respectful and Non-Judgmental Responses: A therapist should respond to your feelings in a respectful, accepting, and non-judgmental manner. Their role is to support you without imposing their values or judgments.

4. Authenticity: A therapist's authenticity and warmth contribute to a positive therapeutic relationship. You should feel a connection with them as a caring, authentic human being.

5. Open Communication: It should feel safe to communicate openly with your therapist, including expressing when you feel misunderstood or hurt. A good therapist will be receptive to feedback and willing to address concerns.

6. Reasonable Ideas and Suggestions: While you may not always agree with everything your therapist says, their suggestions should feel reasonable and worth considering. A collaborative approach to exploring ideas is essential.

7. Trust: Trust is a foundational element in therapy. Over time, you should feel a sense of trust developing in the therapeutic relationship.

8. Hopefulness: Leaving sessions with a sense of hope, even if it's tentative, is a positive sign. Therapy is a process, and a good therapist will instill a sense of hope for positive change.

​

It's important to recognize that therapy is a collaborative effort, and open communication about your experiences and reactions is encouraged. If, after giving it some time, you find that the therapeutic relationship is not meeting your needs, it's okay to explore other options and find a therapist who aligns better with your preferences and goals.
