> only go to a therapist with objective and practical plans for results, even if that may take a few sessions. Any therapist that just offers vague solutions is leading you on. No, therapy is also a place to practice relating, eg vocalizing emotions, setting boundaries, or mending ruptures. Therapy is, after all, also a relationship. "Vague" solutions are, of course, "no true scotsman," but yes, therapists should be able to offer concrete, actionable coping tools--explain them to you, and help you process your attempt to put them into practice. I don't see a reason, however, to see a therapist who finds fault with me that I don't, myself, consider a problem. Let my friends and relations stage the interventions if need be. ;) |
