On my way to my third session with my new therapist. I think after this one is when I’ll decide if I’m going to move forward with her.

Anyone else have trouble finding the right fit?

To asked the question I asked. What is the reason you commented?

What were you hoping for and how’s it actually been? Speaking as a therapist you need to feel safe with the practitioner but also that they are not totally ‘going on your ride’ but challenge you where appropriate and empower you, not keep you hooked.

Without genuine rapport it’s going to feel like a struggle.

It actually went so well. I think I found the right fit and I’m so happy about that. My second session was great too but I was worried she was going to make it all about romantic relationships (I’m single) but today we didn’t even touch upon that.

You mentioned you had trouble finding a therapist who’s a good fit. You actually seem happy with the one you have:)
I was pointing out some pitfalls to watch out for. I’ve been therapist and client so I thought my input might be helpful.

I was anticipating I wouldn’t be thrilled — negative thinking which I guess I need to work on 😂 But pleasantly surprised. Still curious anyway to hear other people’s experiences finding the right fit. What are some of the things to be mindful of to make sure I’m getting the right treatment, etc

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

Recently moved into Tech Sales. Frustrated with my Salary (32K base/year, negligible bonus potential of a few K).

Saw the cut as necessary evil initially in order to move into tech sales and make multi six figure commissions later on with potential to reach 7 figures in total comp. At least my current role is with enterprise accounts which. Thought?
