Has anyone tried therapy in their second language? Is this a bad idea? I live abroad and speak the language fluently (I would say business professional) but don't really use it for emotional conversations as a lot of my friends and my partner speak English. I can't find an English speaking therapist here that is covered on my health insurance.

Therapy is therapy. Not sure why language matters. As long as you understand it, I don't see why it's any different

Can't say it won't work until you try. If you tried and do agree that you can't eloquently state your feelings in that language then you try harder to find an English one. Try worrying less about which language and focus on getting the therapy you need.

I am sure this is a question with an obvious answer, but does anyone else just feel absolutely trapped in a job they hate because of their student loans?

I am pretty unhappy with my job the vast majority of the time, but I feel like I have no options. $160k at 6% and 7% interest cannot be ignored.
