I’ve had the same therapist since I was 16 and I’m now 21. She specializes in social anxiety and has helped me so much, I’m very grateful to her for everything she's done for me. My issue right now, though, is that now I’m significantly better anxiety-wise my sessions seem tedious and kind of awkward and I’ve always kind of had trouble being completely transparent. I have other things I’d like to talk about but it feels like we never get far and if we ever get somewhere it’s at the end of the session and is usually not touched afterwards. This has led to me not even really bothering to make appointments because I feel like we never get anything done (among other things). I’ve been pushing the whole “she might not be for me anymore” thing to the back of my head for a while but I was talking to a friend about therapy and they described their experiences with their own therapist and I thought “that’s something I want”. Part of me thinks maybe they just work through things differently but I was wondering if anyone had similar experiences or suggestions. I’ve been scared of finding a new therapist because I’ve never really found someone I click with and it’s been about 5 years with my current one so it feels like maybe just sticking to what I know is best. There’s also the issue of prices, my current therapist charges me about half her normal rate due to my income issues and finding something better for a similar rate seems difficult. This is also something I’d need to discuss with my mom since I still live with her and she helps me afford it. Just writing this makes me feel like finding a new therapist may be the right way to go but how I even go about finding a new one (let alone a good one) is a mystery to me. Any suggestions would be wonderful!
