How do I know if my therapist doesnt like me?

Pushing you to talk about things that you’re not ready to talk about, such as your sex life or the details of past trauma. Gossiping about other clients to you. Inviting you to hang out at their house. Telling you that they “love you” — or other strong, inappropriate words of personal affection.

Is it OK to ask your therapist for a hug?

Therapists may decline a hug from a client if they think you might misinterpret the hug or have irrational ideas or delusions about the nature of your therapeutic relationship. In this case, a hug would not be appropriate. Your therapist should not engage in any kind of sexual contact with you. This is very unethical.

What happened when I stopped trying so hard to try in therapy?

Looking back, though, I can see that some of the most important growth I’ve had in therapy actually happened when I stopped trying so hard to please my therapist. In fact, the most powerful moments we’ve shared together were when I had the courage to tell him things that I was absolutely convinced I shouldn’t say.

Do you have to pay your therapist if you don’t want to see?

The bottom line: you’re not responsible for how your therapists feels. Most therapists know that they’re not going to be a great fit for every client that walks into their office. You aren’t obligated to keep paying a professional that you don’t want to see anymore.

Can You Trust a therapist who has never been wrong?

When your therapist has a “I know it all and am never wrong” attitude, of course you would struggle to fully trust them. A therapist who’s willing to be themselves and admit their mistakes can be healing — especially for HSPs, who tend to crave authenticity. HSPs go through life reading people like open diaries.
