In today's world, social media is very effective in every field and many things are now just a click away. Although this has its positive aspects, it can also be observed that it is abused in some cases. Sometimes people who are not experts in their field can present themselves as experts on professionally prepared social media accounts. For this reason, when researching a therapist, the training the person has received and the comments made about him/her should be carefully researched.
But despite this, sometimes you won't know how that person will come to you unless you try, that is, without spending a session with that person. Having a professional license and expertise is of course very important because you are entrusting your mental health to him. However, just because these are sufficient and at a good level does not mean that everything will go perfectly.
If you experience disappointment, do not give up immediately. Question whether you really have the intention to heal or not. Maybe you find yourself in therapy processes that you predict will end because you are not ready for therapy.
The client's intention to heal is very important in therapy. Even knowing that you are not ready for recovery is the first step. So you can say that I go to therapy and even if I don't have the intention to get better, I continue to build that intention. The important thing here is to be aware of your own emotions.
When researching the therapist, look at the feeling he gives you and how this feeling comes to you.
There are mirror neurons in the human brain. These mirror neurons help us understand the other person's emotion. If the therapist loves you as a client, trusts you, covers you and feels close to you as a client, you will feel this too. In my opinion, the best thing for the client is the therapist's ability to include him/her unconditionally. Turkish society has a relational social structure. The relationships we cannot establish within this relationship, the closeness we cannot feel, and the feeling of loneliness we feel too much make our souls sick. Therefore, in my opinion, a close therapeutic relationship with the client in therapy based on ethics and functionality is very important and healing.
You may want to choose a therapist younger than yourself and or older. Sometimes you prefer a male therapist, sometimes a female therapist. These are all things related to your inner world and your past life.
Every therapist's technique is different. Instead of asking which school of thought the therapist works with, leave it to him and see how you feel about what he does. You may be very interested in psychological issues outside. You may even be a psychologist or psychiatrist yourself, but you are the client in that room.
