Sometimes you have to go through a few counselors until you find the right one. I had to go through several of them, but love the one I have now, and I've been talking to her for about 5 years now. She's a GEM!! Keep at it!

It's all okay to feel the added stress of a new counselor, but it may take a while to find that one that is going to encourage you, Asking them about their background is probably your first thing to look at asking them to get a feel for them. I'm telling you this and think I should follow this advice. I currently have been seeing a therapist now for 13 years and have just found another one I like and may switch but how do I let the other person know I may be switching is my new dilemma. Keep us posted, many here have been through this too, I hope the search doesn't take too long but usually you can tell within the first few visits if they are a fit.

Maybe you can try again when you feel up to
It. I had a bunch of therapists over the years some were a good fit and some I had to run fast from. It can take awhile to find the right one. Don’t give up

    I've started searching for a new job, but I really don't want to start again.  I've worked at a certain law office for about 4 years.  The managers haven't changed but the turnover rate for the associates has been about 95% in the last 4 years!!! We get new clerks each semester, which is great. The cases are extremely stressful.  The paralegal and office manager are very toxic (unorganized,...
