59. When It's Not Working Out With Your Therapist

When you know in your gut that something isn't working in therapy how do you approach the conversation so you get what you need?  You're feeling stuck. You've been seeing your therapist for a while or perhaps just a short time, and maybe you don't know what it is, but you KNOW something isn't working. Maybe they're just not getting you.  You've heard of just "not clicking," but maybe this goes beyond that. Is it not the right fit? Or is it a bit more complex than that? Did something happen that turned you off?  Now, I'm a therapist, so I'm talking about this from a therapist perspective. You can replace "therapist" with anyone – psychiatrist, dietitian, doctor, and so on – but we're going to be zeroing in on the therapist-client relationship today. Whatever it is, and whomever it is… this is your episode to help you figure out what to do and how to get through it… even when it feels terrifying.    Tweetable Quotes "The interpersonal dynamic between you and your therapist is the key to your recovery, your healing journey, to really getting anywhere that you need and want to go." – Rachelle Heinemann   "Honestly, you owe it to yourself to talk about it. Otherwise, you're wasting your time and energy." – Rachelle Heinemann    "Let's think about any sort of disagreement. If there's respectful disagreement, then what you have is a beautiful debate." – Rachelle Heinemann LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who may need this podcast by sharing this episode.
