there are bad professionals in every field. but there’s a limit on how much damage a mediocre locksmith can do, while a bad therapist can really waste your time for years.
Yeah, it can be hard if you don’t have the right tools.
Thankfully, despite all the complaints I have about my insurance company, they at least had a locator I could use to find people that are covered, and it only took a bit of extra snooping to see where they likely stood regarding my needs to whittle it down to like 3 or 4 therapists. I’ll be the first to admit that I got really lucky in finding my therapist and having him mesh well with me.
Sorry to hear you lost insurance friend, I hope you’re able to take care of yourself out there, I know it’s not easy.
Oh absolutely not the case. I’ve had some atrocious psychiatrists. Then there’s dentists, jesus fucking hell I think dentists are worse on average than therapists
I can tell you much more anecdotes about bad “physical” doctors from friends and family than about psychological ones. To be fair, people are much more likely to rant about how a surgeon fucked up the stitches on their leg than about how a therapist made their depression worse.
tbf. the process of finding a good one is hard, especially when you need a therapist.
Had one, after searching, we had one appointment, then he cancelled 4 appointments in a row, then I lost Medicaid so no nore trying for me.

Weird how finding a good practitioner for any medical specialty is mostly trivial, except for therapists. Almost as if they are all bad.

Nah, there are plenty of bad GPs, surgeons etc…
