I am looking for some support in the process of switching therapists.
Long story short, I was in Argentina for a while, and then I came back to the US. I am still seeing the therapist from Argentina through video calls. I am thinking that it is not helping, as I am having a lot of problems lately. The problems include having a ton of anxious thoughts and not being able to listen to my decision-making process. I feel like I should switch therapists, but I am not sure what to do. I already have a therapist lined up here in the US, but I still am unsure. Can anyone relate? |

There is nothing wrong with interviewing other Ts or 'trial testing' them to see who is a better match.
If a T is not helping you, it is not worth continuing. You are investing time and money, so you get to decide whom to work with. |

Well, it's almost as if I can't make a decision. I feel paralyzed with doubt about this. I cannot evaluate who would be a better fit. I mean, I feel like I cannot even make decisions for myself. No matter what others tell me, I can't make decisions.
I get this attitude from my parents, too, that they cannot make decisions for me. I know they're right; it seems ridiculous to say, but sometimes I want others to make decisions for me. |

I also extremely indecisive. I think this is part of being anxious and depressed. I find it hard to actually tune in to what I want... I think some of this may be a result of having a childhood in which ones own opinions, values and preferences were mostly pointless. They were (mostly) disregarded, overruled or ridiculed. Consequently they seem to fade away... For me it's also a fear of responsibility and an overall pessimism.
I would suggest a session or two with the therapist in the USA. Then you can decided which feels better. |
