It's normal to no longer vibe with your therapist. So, here's how you can break up with them.
“As much as therapists are absolutely human beings and can have their feelings hurt, [you can] shift the frame of what this is about,” Chansky says. “It’s not about hurting that person, it’s about what you need.”
Rachel B., 28, had been seeing her therapist for a year and was craving actionable advice that she wasn’t receiving. It was one of the reasons she eventually dumped her therapist. “She would let me talk through things on my own without reacting much,” Rachel says. “In comparison to other therapists [I’ve had], it didn't really feel like the best approach for me.”is to open up.
“If ... you feel like they’re not really valuing the knowledge that you have about your culture and your background, bring it up,” says Chansky. “It’s OK to decide that isn’t going to be helpful to you.” Amsellem suggests starting with something like, “There’s something I wanted to talk about. My goals from therapy are [insert said goals here]. I’m concerned we’re not meeting them together. Is there any way we can get closer to helping me achieve these goals?”
