A good “fit” often feels like this:
🌿 1. You Feel Safe and Respected
You don’t feel judged, dismissed, or rushed.
You feel like you can be honest — even if it’s messy, confusing, or emotional.
Your identity, background, and experiences are respected, not minimized.
🌿 2. You Feel Heard and Understood
The therapist doesn’t just "listen" — they really "get" the heart of what you’re trying to say.
Even if they gently challenge you sometimes, it comes from a place of care, not criticism.
🌿 3. You Feel Collaborative, Not Controlled
Therapy feels like a team effort, not a lecture or a power imbalance.
You feel empowered to ask questions, give feedback, or even disagree respectfully.
🌿 4. You Feel Challenged in a Good Way
They don't just tell you what you want to hear.
They gently help you face tough truths and stretch beyond old patterns, but at a pace that feels manageable.
🌿 5. You Sense Hope, Even If Things Are Hard
After sessions, even if you feel tired or emotional, there's a tiny spark of hope that healing, growth, or change is possible.
You feel like they believe in your potential.
🚩 Signs the Fit May Not Be Right:
You feel more anxious, confused, judged, or invisible after sessions.
You feel pressured to share before you’re ready.
You consistently feel misunderstood, even after clarifying.
You dread sessions without a clear sense of why.
🌱 Good therapy isn’t about having a perfect therapist — it’s about feeling safe enough to be real, and supported enough to grow.
