How do i find a good depth psychologist?

Posted by Lamdage22 on November 1, 2018, at 9:31:18

I was always leaning more towards depth psychology as opposed to cbt. However i was not in a very good state so psychologists have rejected me and said i should do cbt. Now i am much improved.

The psychologist at vocational rehab told me to give it another go. She questions the diagnosis, too.

What do you mean by depth therapist? Psycho-dynamic therapy? Psychoanalysis (which seems to me to be a total waste time)?

I don't know how things are in Germany, but in the US it does take some research. Therapists just license themselves as therapists, without specifying if they do CBT, DBT or psycho-dynamic. My experience is that psychiatrists are more likely to do psychodynamic therapy (if they do therapy), while social workers are more likely to do CBT/DBT. Psychologists, I don't know - have never seen one - but I imagine they are all over the map.

I guess just call people and ask?

 

Does anyone have psychoanalysis experience? (nm)

Do you mean lie on a couch 4-5 times a week with the therapist sitting behind you and not saying anything? Not for me. My sister tried it for a month, but found it two weird. There's a reason this has gone out of style.

To me CBT is trying to be someone you are not. "Oh im this way and its not good. Now i will try to be another way". I dont need a therapist for that.

I don't think there is. A modern type of Psychoanalysis can be helpful. The therapist will say something and I will be lying on the couch 2 times a week.

I don't care about style, I care about what helps.
