The Therapy Issue

You, justifiably, may wonder whether a therapist, you are already attending their sessions, is the right one for you or - if you haven't started sessions - which one is the right for you, and of course, what are the criteria to make up your mind for those questions.
In the plethora of therapists it is a reasonable question, to say the least.
But here is the deal: don't beat yourself up. You have to start from somewhere. I understand that finances are always a theme but you need to make a start in order to decide. You can't really decide based on pictures you see on websites and ads in newspapers; IT IS the first line of approach and you can start from there but make a decision and you'll find out.
Think of it as an investment you are making for your future; just like studies or an investment for your business. Because at the end of the day, it IS going to help you be more productive and free, and thus you will be making more money, eventually.
And quite frankly, it is not VERY important if you don't match with your therapist. It is better when therapist and client have chemistry between them but is not essential. The essential part is HOW WELL YOU ADAPT TO THEIR THERAPY.
I have been with therapsists which I didn't like or didn't really insipre me but it was MY WILL that kept me trying under their guidance. In the end I looked for others because I found out that their therapy wasn't for me, which again, takes time most of the times.
And something else you need to remember: all that glitters is not gold; therapists who charge less doesn't mean they are not good and expensive therapists doesn't mean they are good. They, also, may be at the same level.
To conclude, when you look for a therapist, look at their picture on the ad; if it makes you feel warm, give it a try; if it doesn't, move on.
But don't make a big deal out of it.
