Ive had some bad experiences with therapy. How can I have a better experience this time?
Your experiences with therapy have probably made you a more educated consumer. You know more about what will work for you and what will not. Make a list of what is most important to you, and what you are concerned about. Interview your prospective therapist as you would a candidate for employment. A sensitive clinician will be willing to hear your concerns in an initial phone call. I always ask new clients about their previous experiences with therapy, as a part of the development of our relationship together. Therapy is always a voluntary experience, which you can end at any time.
