    • Is therapy for me???

      Is therapy for me???
      Jun 25 2023

      Why do we avoid therapy?

      • Stigma against mental illness
      • Fear of being judged
      • Fear of being vulnerable
      • May feel like it is a luxury activity instead of

      a health activity

      • Treatment cost
      • Insurance issues
      • May have to discuss painful past events

      How to choose a therapist?

      First, consider the type of therapy that they use…

      For perinatal depression & anxiety, the two most effective therapies are:

      1. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) &
      2. Interpersonal therapy (IPT)

      Second, look for a maverick.

      -Look beyond the years of experience and look for someone who is regularly learning.

      -Verify their baseline therapy credential (state and board certified)

      -Also look for someone who is specifically trained in perinatal mood disorders, e.g.

      by Postpartum Support International

      Third, look for someone with similar life experience.

      -Look for someone of similar race, ethnicity, gender, lifestyle

      -Will make it easier to enter a safe space for therapeutic work to occur

      Fourth, know that you are in control.

      -Meet for 15 minute free consult if possible

      -Schedule only if you were able to connect

      -If you do not agree with the treatment plan, or you don’t connect or you don’t think that you

      are being listened to, keep looking

      Fifth, look for social emotional intelligence.

      -adaptable

      -flexible

      -self aware

      In Summary,

      - You have to feel safe in your interactions with your therapist.

      - Feel free to shop around until you have the right fit.

      - Self evaluate mood for improvement and keep a journal or mood log.
