Esther Perel
Good therapy is undergirded by a foundation of safety and trust. Therapy is often uncomfortable, especially when we push against that leading edge of change! This is why choosing your therapist is important. Having a free chat can offer you a chance to ‘interview’ your therapist and see if instinctively you are left with good vibes. That chat is a central part of the selection process, because it’s not everyday we share and trust the darkest parts of us with a stranger.
Outside of that magic ‘personality’ factor, your therapist should be well grounded in their areas of practice. In this case, the tricks up my sleeve are that I have over twenty years of working with exercise, nutrition, movement and talking therapies, making my approach not only broad, but deep.
