How did you find a good therapist?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm struggling to find a good online therapist. Also I'm not sure what's the definition of "good" and maybe I was unlucky in my previous experiences. As of today, these things triggered me to fire the two previous therapists:

- looking at the phone while I'm talking, if only for 2 seconds
- saying something along the lines of "philosophy is not important for my job"
- focusing on "searching deeper" in a Jungian way as opposed to actually trying to understand what I was talking about
- not taking notes
- not having a plan for what we were going to do and how, just wanting to talk and talk and talk (and getting paid)

I should say that I worked with both therapists before I knew about ASD, and in fact they were not taking me seriously when I was telling them all the things that now make perfect sense. They didn't even think about that possibility. That surely shows how hard they were trying.

Any suggestions??

Could this help?
