How can I ask my therapist if she’s a right fit for me?
Hi everyone. First time finding this subreddit.
How do I ask my therapist if she thinks she’s a good fit for me? When I first found her I didn’t know that she specialized in sex therapy. Or ask if she thinks I’m making progress? I feel like I can’t see anything outside of my own head sometimes.
Over the course of the year we’ve talked about my relationship to my parents or other people in my life. Small goals I have for myself, but I feel stuck. I feel unprepared when I come in and I feel like my therapist is letting me have the steering wheel when I have no idea where we’re going.
I have an anxious inkling that she thinks that she may not be the best fit for me, but that the surface level talks are what I need. She mentioned that I could maybe try medication but I don’t want to go to medication without exhausting all other options first.
I’m afraid of medication and I worry that’s the only thing that will help. (I’ve never been medicated befo re btw.)
