It is indeed very difficult to find a therapist with whom you “match” well. My suggestion is keep interviewing as many therapists on the phone or online as you can until you feel comfortable enough to actually pay to correspond with one. Make sure that you are interviewing him/her as much as he/she may be interviewing you. Your emotional/mental health is extremely important and should not be taken lightly. Therefore, it is very important to never settle for a therapist with whom you are not comfortable.

In addition, once you are in counseling, a therapist will want to know about your past and how you were raised. One’s upbringing as a child often has a direct correlation with how he/she has learned to cope and handle certain situations as adults.

By discussing what we have learned from our caregivers as we have grown up over the years, we often figure out why we act in the ways we do in situations of uncertainty, anxiety, and/or controversy. The good news is that once we realize from where our behaviors have stemmed, we can “unlearn” bad habits or ways we react to situations and learn new ways to respond to contention. Hence, we learn how to better resolve conflicts in our lives.
