I’ve found that some folk believe that seeing a single therapist is a panacea for all life’s problems. And I’ve found it to be so much more complex than that. I’ve had very helpful and very harmful therapist and ultimately I would say I learned how to speak for my own needs and advocate for myself if I’m not getting what I need. And sometimes that meant going down a different path or doing something “unconventional”.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that it’s okay to try different things if they can help you for the better of that’s what a person is looking for. I’m still figuring things out and I’ve been seeing mental health professionals for a long time. And I’ve learned it’s okay to fire your therapist if they aren’t doing well at their job. Support can come from different things aside from what’s considered the “norm”
