Hello Mimi,

I feel your frustration about not finding a goos therapist. It is frustrating and draining, especially at a time when that is the last thing you want. I met with two therapists face to face for sessions who I didnt click with at all and have had three online therapists. The first one left as she wasnt qualified, the second I thought we didnt get in as her response kinda was “just get over it” which didnt help. I currently use the american platform betterhelp. They have useful articles and my current therapist is lovely and I genuinly feel improvement after speaking to her. My only thing would be is that some of the previous therapists I have had have been religious and kind of pushed the “give yourself over to god and itll all be okay” idea. As someone who really isnt sure what faith to follow/believe I found that default answer hard as i didnt know that i wanted to believe in that in the first place or bave that kind of faith -for me that put me off e.g. that was a barrier between me and the therapist that i couldnt overcome without feeling like i was just lying about my beliefs, o i left.

I hope you and your mum find a good, emphatic therapist soon.
