I’ve been thinking a lot about the anti-therapy articles floating around the internet over the past few weeks. In my mind, seeing a therapist is not like seeing a dentist - it’s not necessarily something that everyone should do regularly. That said, it could be incredibly harmful to imply that therapy - at the right time, with the right therapist - doesn’t play a significant, transformative role in the lives of the people it touches. As therapists, we are privileged to co-create safe, trusting spaces with our clients, ones in which they can try on new behaviors, practice them, and ultimately build skills. Ideally, our work together allows them to embrace flexibility and creativity as they continue to evolve as humans. Sometimes this happens so slowly that it is barely perceptible, sometimes change happens in seismic shifts. If change and growth aren’t happening, it’s not the right therapy, therapist, or time for that particular client to be engaging in therapy - or maybe not therapy at all. So no, therapy is not for everyone, at all times - and it makes sense to be sure that when you’re in therapy, that it is resulting in change, even if that change is slow and messy. If this growth isn’t happening as a result of therapy, it’s worthwhile asking yourself (and your therapist) some tough questions. Alma created a helpful guide with questions and resources for people that may be wondering if therapy is right for them. Do you feel connected with your therapist? Is your therapist’s therapeutic approach working for you? Does your therapist understand and support your goals- your personal “why” for starting therapy?

Have you ever felt like you're just not making progress in therapy? In his latest piece for the Alma blog, writer Sam Dylan Finch explores reasons why therapy may not be working for you and offers paths resolution. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/egCJRbvW
Every few months, it seems, there's a new think piece that's debating if therapy is really all it's cracked up to be. And to be clear, I don't think therapy is right for everyone at all times! Sometimes it really is time to move on and try something different. But ironically, I find that many of these pieces betray a huge lack of understanding in how therapy works, what a collaborative and trusting relationship feels like, and how to advocate for oneself when our needs as clients aren't getting met. I'm excited to be working with Alma to create the resources I wish had existed when I started my therapy journey more than a decade ago. If therapy isn't helping you, I hope this guide can help you make an empowered decision about what's best for you. 💚

Alma will be hosting an event tomorrow in partnership with Therapy for Black Girls! If youre looking to start therapy or generally interested in the therapeutic relationship, join us to learn more about why it’s so important to find a therapist who gets you.
The relationship between you and your therapist can make all the difference in how much you get out of sessions. And while mutual trust grows over time, shared identities can create a solid foundation of understanding. In this virtual conversation, hosted in partnership with Therapy for Black Girls, we’ll explore how similar backgrounds and experiences can deepen therapeutic relationships and help clients feel comfortable in sessions.
