Yes they are trained professionals but they are also human and not all knowing. Sadly, again. You may feel the urge to ask for solutions to your problems or advice. But if your therapist were to give you solutions every session you wouldnt gain the tools to navigate your own life and mental health. Therapists should provide support, guidance, and coping skills to help you create your own solutions and collaborate in managing your mental health. https://www.therapyr.com/blog/howistalkingtoatherapistdifferentthantalkingtofriends monthly 0.5 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64760afb576e8e278aebeab6/772ef321-7792-47dd-ab13-871742fe12d9/first+time+therapy+Large.jpeg Blog - How Is Talking To A Therapist Different From Talking With A Friend/Family? - Boundaries Boundaries! Yes, I'm yelling boundaries with palms wide open. Because they are so vital in every relationship. When speaking to a therapist the boundaries that should be in place is that a therapist is not your friend (sorry my sweet humans) and not your family. This is important to recognize so that you are able to explore difficult topics and emotions without concern of also having to pour into the therapist or worry about hurting the therapist feelings. Though a therapist should still be respected (since they are human as well) you don't have to feel responsible for their emotions or fear of damaging the relationship when exploring yourself. https://www.therapyr.com/blog/what-to-expect-in-your-first-therapy-session monthly 0.5 2023-08-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64760afb576e8e278aebeab6/826e24a7-5069-4c25-bad5-7b7210e59b23/therapy+Large.jpeg Blog - What To Expect In Your First Therapy Session - What even is therapy? Therapy is not a place to receive ‘advice’ or a place to ‘vent’. Yes, there is talking. But unlike venting to friends and family and receiving a temporary form of relief you want to be able to dig deeper with a trained professional. The purpose of therapy is to gain skills and tools to better process and navigate through your emotions, challenges, and experiences. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, ‘Therapists can help someone better understand and cope with thoughts, feelings and behaviors. They can also offer guidance and help improve a person’s ability to achieve life goals. These mental health professionals may also help assess and diagnose mental health conditions.’ Therapists do not prescribe medication. Unlike therapists, psychiatrists have the ability to prescribe and monitor medication. There are different variations in mental health professionals in every state. But below are a list of mental health professionals with their abbreviations: https://www.therapyr.com/blog/beginner-guide-to-therapy monthly 0.5 2023-08-10
