Psychiatry Myths & Mental HealthIs Your Therapist Making Things Worse?
🔥 “Stop Getting Screwed in Therapy — Here’s How to Vet Your Therapist” 🔥
Look — therapy is not just about finding a warm body with a couch. It’s about finding someone who actually knows what the hell they’re doing AND fits you. So here’s your wake-up call:
If your therapist is pushing you too fast — like “Just forgive your abuser and move on” — 🚩🚩🚩 RUN. That’s not healing — that’s a messiah complex in khakis.
Step 1: Vet your therapist like you’re hiring a hitman.
✅ Check their credentials (LPC, LCSW, PhD — make sure they’re actually qualified).
✅ Ask about their training & approach. If they dodge, ramble, or get offended — bounce.
A 2020 study in Psychotherapy found that a strong therapist-client fit — meaning shared goals and real trust — outrageously boosts your outcomes. If you don’t vibe with your therapist, you’re basically paying a leech with a degree.
💯 Reminder: You’d dump a dentist if they drilled the wrong tooth — so why keep a shrink who leaves you worse than when you came in?
Therapy is WORK. You’re paying for a guide, not a god. Don’t settle for bad help.
