I don't know if I would work with a therapist that says "I only work with people who are serious about recovery." What does "serious about recovery" look like? Who makes the judgement call about whether someone is "serious" or not? Who even goes to therapy if they are not "serious" about it? It's not like we put ourselves through this **** for fun. Trauma especially early and prolonged trauma has a profound impact on development and neurobiology. Traumatic responses aren't a "choice". Thinking about my own traumatic responses in therapy... I would be really concerned about being judged and rejected for something I have little to no control over - without long term therapy.
