If You've Seen Multiple Therapists Before Finding A Fit, We Want To Know Why You Broke Up With Your Original One

You've got to do what's right for your mental health, and sometimes that means dumping your therapist.

Finding a therapist that you like is crucial in your mental health journey, which unfortunately means that you might have to meet with a few bad therapists before you find your perfect fit.

I'm asking the BuzzFeed Community: What made you realize that you needed to break up with your therapist?

Maybe you'd attended a few sessions with a recently new therapist, but kept having to remind them of things that you said in a previous appointment before you finally realized that they weren't actually listening to what you had to say?

Maybe you'd been seeing your therapist for years and want to make a big lifestyle change, but your therapist kept making you second guess your decisions?

Did you realize that due to their background, they could not relate to you or understand the cultural or social nuance, causing you to look for a therapist who identified more similarly to you?
