Does therapy work for everyone?
There is no single, correct approach that works for everyone. Not every therapist will work for everyone, either. Having a negative experience with a particular therapist or a certain type of treatment can make it hard to try therapy again, even if you want support.
How do you tell your therapist It isn’t working?
Try one of the following:
- “I think I don’t need to come in anymore.”
- “I’m not sure if I’m getting what I need from therapy.”
- “I’m not sure we click.”
- “I think I can handle things better now.”
- “I think I need to switch to a therapist that specializes in _________.”
- “I think I’ve done all the work I can do here.”

Why doesn’t the first treatment work?
Whether it’s difficulty coping with stress or something more serious, such as post- traumatic stress disorder, the first treatment doesn’t always work. If you had heart disease, you wouldn’t throw up your hands and give up if your first medication didn’t yield results, so don’t do the same with therapy!
Do you make more progress with one therapist than another?
