7 Things You Didn’t Know About Your Therapist
Have you ever wondered what your therapist REALLY thinks of you? Perhaps you’re curious about what your therapist is like outside of the therapy room. We asked our Towson-based therapists to share 1-2 things that you might not know about them as therapists. These are their responses.
Your therapist is not perfect and will make mistakes, but they will work to keep learning and expanding upon their skills to find ways they can fix those mistakes.
Your therapist understands more than you might think they do, they just can’t always say it. You aren’t alone in your experiences. In one way or another, they can relate.
Your therapist regularly participates in workshops, seminars and training to stay up to date on the best therapeutic practices in the field.
Your therapist probably thinks about you in between sessions and wonders how you are doing.
Your therapist often wishes you saw yourself in the same positive, strengths-based light that we see you in.
Your therapist understands what you might be struggling with and they will help you navigate those struggles so you are able to overcome them.
Your therapist will discuss helpful coping strategies that they have used on themselves that may be beneficial for you.
We’d love to hear your thoughts. Did any of these responses surprise you? It’s true. Therapists regularly think about their clients between visits, and we regularly engage in ongoing learning, so we can better support you and your needs. We’re people too, so not only do we have strategies to offer, but we can relate with you!
