How do you know if a therapist is really not right for you or if these are just your mental defense mechanisms trying to protect you from difficult experiences? When is it better to switch to another therapist? We talked to three psychotherapists who work in different approaches about how to decide to change a therapist and how to do it 00:00 Preview 01:30 Therapy only makes me feel worse. Does this mean I need to change a therapist? 05:45 During therapy, a topic came up that I don’t want to approach, and the therapist seems to be leading me to it all the time. Should I go there or is it better to give myself time? 08:20 What should I do if I still feel pressure from the therapist? 10:45 It seems to me that I’ve gotten so used to therapy that I go there automatically and don’t understand if I really need it. Is it possible to “restart” the process? 12:50 It seems to me that nothing new is happening in therapy, but I am not ready to end it, because I feel calmer when I have this hour a week. 16:10 My therapist drives me crazy! And I think it interferes with the process. Should I continue working with him? 18:00 Can a therapist himself offer me to change a specialist and even recommend someone? 20:45 Should a therapist insist on changing a specialist if, after his arguments, the client still wants to continue working with him? 23:25 Are there any situations in which it is absolutely necessary to change a therapist? 26:10 What should I do if it seems to me that therapy has stopped helping me and I am losing faith in it? 29:55 I discuss my various problems with my therapist a lot, but I can never decide what to do in a given situation. Is the problem the specialist? 32:25 Analysis of your situations The questions were answered by: Olga Malinina - psychodrama therapist https://l.bemeta.co/olga-malinina Elena Khatskelevich - emotionally focused therapist https://l.bemeta.co/hatskelevich-elena Elena Ozerova - psychoanalytic psychotherapist https://l.bemeta.co/elena-ozerova 📍You can sign up for any psychotherapist in the Meta database with a 25% discount on your first session using the promo code VIDEO24 - https://l.bemeta.co/YT13
