I’ve always been told that finding the right therapist can feel like online dating. Recently, I found this to be true. For the past three months, I’ve been using Talkspace to find a therapist to help guide and support me through life’s hardships, whether they be from the past or the present. I’ll be honest, it took about three therapists until I found one that spoke to me and made me feel seen and heard. He was kind and spiritual, and I found his perspectives on life to be quite profound.
But sometimes, profoundness is not enough. I am at a point in my life where I am experiencing a conflict between the people pleaser within me versus my selfless side. A part of me feels obligated to stay with one therapist, while another part of me yearns for someone new who will push and encourage me to become more vulnerable, more transparent, and more open to healing. For the entirety of my life, I have felt the need to put others before myself.
I know this feeling resonates with many.
Why is it that while growing up, so many see a parallel between being selfless to being selfish? At times, I can’t help but wonder if I am worthy of taking that leap of faith and finding myself a new therapist. Am I strong enough to speak my truth, and translate it into a reality?
The answer is yes.
Yes.
I, along with everyone else, am worthy and deserving of finding someone to help me heal my past traumas. I, along with everyone else, hold the power within me to continue the search for a therapist that feels right. We, together, must remind ourselves that we are never alone. If you are struggling to find a therapist, I hope my story reminds you to not give up, even when it is hard, even when it is overwhelming. Finding a therapist may not be as fun as online dating, but when the match is right, the new relationship can blossom into something beautiful. I hope that everyone finds the person that is right for them. I hope that I find that person in the near future. I am ready to reflect, to share, to put in the work, and ultimately to heal.
Keep searching. Keep fighting. You are worthy of healing and peace of mind.

Is there payment when you need the services of a therapist? if so, how much?
People are compassionate, hilarious, determined, vulnerable, supportive, and incredibly lovable. I can always rely on them to bring me back to the current moment. Whether I need a shoulder to weep on, a rant, a distraction, or an adventure, I remind myself of the significance of relying on my folks to feel grounded.

As a result of all the benefits of a clean bathroom, homeowners work hard to keep their bathrooms clean.
Besides being a room for personal hygiene, it is a space where you can relax and unwind with a hot, soothing bath.
Healing is a long process which we need to be patient and cool.
Good blog!
I pray for the healing of everyone here!
Great experience visiting your blog post.
You are worthy of healing for sure. You just need to find the right support system.
Healing is the natural outcome of God’s overflowing love for man. It is God’s gift to everyone
Everyone deserves to heal and find peace, regardless of their past experiences or circumstances. Healing can come in many forms, such as therapy, self-care, seeking support from loved ones, or developing healthy coping mechanisms. It’s important to acknowledge and address any emotional pain or trauma and to give yourself permission to heal and grow. Remember, you are worthy and deserving of love, care, and a fulfilling life.
