What if I don't like my psychotherapist?

Some of the time you probably will not. Therapy involves having a lot of uncomfortable feelings. It will not surprise or disturb your therapist if you find you have strong feelings about them - good or bad. In psychotherapy these difficult feelings can be expressed, then thought about and gradually understood and as a result become more manageable.

If, however, after a good period of time, things seem to be badly wrong and a serious attempt has been made to understand what is going on between you, it may be appropriate to consider changing your therapist.
