Work HistoryTherapy is for everyone! I think a lot of people have this really skewed view of therapy, in which you only go to therapy if something “happened” or if they are “mentally ill”. Therapy can be a safe place to speak about anything including family issues, work conflicts, and friendship/relationship challenges. Additionally, a therapist can help you find a new career, identify what you would want out relationships and utilize your strengths to help you reach your goals. I prefer if therapy sessions were more conversational where the client and I can openly discuss concerns and potential solutions. I would prefer if the client leads the session and I help guide it, I do not have an agenda when beginning any session. I believe utilizing medias such as books, movies, television shows are a great way to help a client identify the situations they are going through. I am always willing to help the client with “homework” if that is what works best for them.
