I've seen multiple psychologists in my life and am about to embark on another journey with a new one after now suffering my second bout of postpartum depression and anxiety. I saw a psychologist a few years back every 2 weeks for two years and feel like I accomplished nothing. My problems were still there and there was no one there to deal with them but me. Same goes with the therapy I got a year ago every week for dealing with the grief of my mom and sister's deaths. I feel like therapy is a big waste of time and I'm sort of ambivalent about going. Add to the fact that this new therapist is a 'fellow' or whatever and has the degree but not much experience behind it, and I am less than enthused about embarking on it again. To top it off, she asked me what I want to work on. How should I know what the problem is that needs to be addressed first?
Any advice or optimism out there for me?
