There are individuals who go into it thinking the therapist is there to 100% solve their problems, without any work from themselves. It’s a tail of the bell curve thing, but it does exist
I really appreciated that the therapists I interviewed all straight up said that I wasn’t going to get anywhere with them if I didn’t put in the work. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I have a similar knee-jerk reaction, but I actually talked to them and they explained it and I just kinda delt with the PDA that came along with it.
Therapy can be really good if you make sure your therapist meshes with you and you’re willing to put in the work on yourself if you plan on getting anything out of it.
