You can stop working with your therapist at any time. It's entirely
up to you. Therapists differ, just like people do, and it's important that
you feel comfortable with the person you're working with. However, if you've
been talking to a therapist for a while and she's making you angry or irritated,
a breakthrough may be just around the corner and you should think twice before
moving on. One way to find out is to tell the therapist what you're feeling.
That's not easy but her response will be helpful in your decision. One of
the odd things about therapy is that it sometimes stirs up some very strong
and uncomfortable feelings. If that happens for you, don't worry it's quite
normal! In fact, it's one of the things that helps therapy to work. So make
sure you tell your therapist-she can help you to understand what's happening.
What if I don't like the therapist?
