What I'm Thinking Sitting Across From You During Therapy

I don’t often know what it is I’m there for. I know overall. I have issues or simply unhappiness. Life isn’t what or where I want it to be, and I need someone to help make it right. Of course you’ve been telling me that’s my job, but in reality “me” is made up of me and you because I’ve been talking to myself way too long already. Not to mention my spouse, mother, brother, best friend, etc. I don’t like talking to myself anymore so I’m talking to you. Actually, I just need help and you’re giving it. I’m paying you of course, or my health plan is, but I recognize that you also do this because you care. You enjoy what you do, and so I feel I’m with someone who cares about this for more than the dollar.

Mental Health Workers: Your Patients Appreciate You!

Having been a mental health “consumer” for several years, I think I’m decently qualified to talk a bit about what it’s like to be in the chair opposite you. I’ve had several different therapists over some 17 years, all of whom have been helpful. Some have been better than others but I can’t fully say that there has been one experience or relationship that far exceeded the other. Basically because the bulk of the work fell and always does fall on me. As it should.
