a good therapist

It seems like it’s become such a cultural norm at this point, especially amongst my generation, to tout the benefits of therapy. “They need to go to therapy” “I‘m going to therapy” “Go to therapy” While I’m a strong proponent of destigmatizing mental illness and getting the help we need, there’s been questions on this topic I’ve been mulling over the past couple weeks: How do therapists know when a client is just telling their skewed side of the story? What if they have a client who is manipulative and always paints themselves as the victim? How does a therapist see through that? And if they don’t, then wouldn’t that be enabling unhealthy behavioral patterns? I’m reminded of a story from my childhood, when my brother went to therapy and my mom had to be there with him for some reason, and she would end up dominating the conversation with the therapist and painting herself as the victim and he would leave the session defeated. Every time he would recount these stories to me, I would think to myself, why did the therapist not facilitate this better? I guess we all talk about going to therapy, but no one talks about what makes a good therapist, about how to find a competent therapist that fits your needs, and about being radically honest with yourself about the kind of help you really need. Anyway - if anyone reading this is a therapist or mental health professional who can answer my questions above, I would greatly appreciate it🎀

Having a therapist who is more of a social scientist than a clinal psychologist

Like the psychiatry industrial complex is real and im not sure me having therapy ever truly escapes this but she is great and also South African and is ready to place everything in a societal contexts and really unpack the origins of different notions of the uses and non uses of diagnosis with me. and like wow she is just great.
