This is related to something that I tend to hear a lot when therapy is suggested to someone who is struggling. Many of my friends at first usually say something along the lines of, "I tried that" or "It did not work for me."

When I ask what they mean, it is typically about how they did not like their therapist or they did not like that therapist's approach, but many people do not realize that it is okay to switch therapists until they find someone who works for them. I personally went through two when I first began therapy in high school before I found someone who I was comfortable with and who really started to help me.

People do not always click and that is okay but just like how nobody should give up making friends after not liking one person, nobody should give up getting help after one bad interaction.
