'How To Be In Therapy'

===========================================================

Therapy works best with someone who makes you feel safe.

I ask new clients if they feel safe, and if they think they
can work with me.

Sometimes they don't! I don't take it personally. I know I
AM safe, but I may remind them of someone untrustworthy in
their past.

If you're not sure, you could try asking yourself: how do I
feel with this person?

I do value experience over paper qualifications but we all
need some diplomas. The person with lots of letters after
their name will not necessarily love and care for you more.
A therapist should be able to give you reasonable guarantees
that they will be around long enough to offer you an
appropriate period of therapy.

In return, you need to show up regularly and on time!

You cannot form a meaningful relationship unless there is
consistency not just because the therapist is earning a
living, ducking in and out is disrespectful and even hurtful
in any relationship.

Making a commitment to therapy may in itself prove to be a
therapeutic exercise.

There is no such thing as a 'good' client. We're aiming to
help you be yourself, so you don't have to put on any
'front'! But if you find yourself unable to share difficult
material you may not be ready for therapy. Good therapists
don't judge, advise or pressurise, or have their own
agendas.

Pay Up On Time! Your fee may be their food budget for the
week! We won't welcome requests for a concession unless you
have temporary unusual circumstances. Being on benefits
isn't a reason for a concession. Not working is your choice,
why should the therapist support you? You would be surprised
at how many clients expect half fee then tell you they just
had dinner and a movie!

Therapy is not particularly well paid outside Harley Street.
Your therapist is a human being with financial needs, like
you!

Ethics - what are they?

Any sexual approach, suggestion or activity on either side
is unethical, maybe unlawful. Quit immediately.

If you think your therapist has power over you in some way,
quit.

If you think your therapist is trying to keep the sessions
going for financial reasons, quit.

It is best not to be in therapy individually with someone
who is also seeing your close relative or friend unless the
therapist is extremely experienced and can keep neutral
boundaries, or if after couple work all three negotiate
individual therapy for one of them.

You should not have to meet or talk to the therapist's
family, friends, colleagues, receptionist or other clients.
Your therapist should work in a clean, quiet space and
should not pressure you to source new clients, or perform
other tasks and favours.

Nearly 100 years of psychotherapy experience confirms that
the best frequency is weekly - recommendations for more are
unethical.

You have a right to keep your therapy secret, but if not, DO
tell your friends if you had a good experience, it's hard to
market therapy and referral really helps.

Remember, it's true that not everyone needs therapy but, we
could all use some from time to time!
