Therapy can be vulnerable—it’s kind of the point. You’re opening up about things you might not be able to share with anyone else, so when your therapist asks a deeply personal question, it can feel… confusing.
Therapy is your time. It’s where you get to unpack your thoughts, work through feelings, and figure out your next steps with someone there to guide you. So, what does it mean when your therapist keeps steering the conversation toward their own life?
Therapy is meant to be professional, supportive, and focused on your well-being. So, when your therapist starts buying you coffee, snacks, or even gifts, it might feel nice at first—and it can also be confusing.
Sometimes it’s awkward to talk about smells. So, it may feel awkward to bring up a scent your therapist is using in their office. Or, it may feel uncomfortable to mention that your therapist’s choice of cologne is bothering you. But, if it’s interfering with your ability to focus on your therapy, you have to be brave and bring it up.
During the intake process, your therapist will likely inquire about your religious preferences. Depending on your spiritual preferences, your therapist might choose to incorporate these preferences into your treatment, when applicable.
