I missed posting this for Mental Health Awareness Month back in May, but I figure that the purpose of my blog is to generate awareness around mental health year-round.
Last month I gave some of my followers an opportunity to ask questions anonymously about going to therapy using a Google form I had created. My hope was that if anyone out there felt hesitant about going to therapy, they could ask a question and I (a frequent therapy goer) or my husband, Dean (a licensed therapist) could answer it.
We answered the same question separately from each other, so you may see a little overlap in our advice below.
The question I want to focus on in this post is:
How do you “try out” a therapist to see if they are a good fit without having to retell your trauma every time?
