OurPath (formerly SSN) Open Forum / Looking for a therapist

**Posted by Forevernomore** December 23, 2021 2:02 am

Any advice on how to find a qualified therapist welcome. I tried one and it was awful. He just didn't get it and I stopped seeing him. I think a female therapist might be a better fit. Are there any resources for finding a therapist to help me through this? I'm in rhe metro Detroit area. Thank you

Hi Forevernomore, this appear to be your first post, so I'll offer a sympathetic welcome. Without knowing more about your journey it's hard to comment, but I will offer this. If you are dealing with the aftereffects of disclosure, possible infidelity, and a marriage that has ended, you might want to look for someone who specializes in things like PTSD.

If you are in crisis, please use one of the links on the main website here - https://ourpath.org/personal-support/

Also, you are welcome to speak your truth here as much as you need to. We are not professionals, but many of us have likely gone through similar circumstances. We understand.

Be well,

Welcome to our Forum Forevermore

Therapists are like dresses. If the first one isn't a good fit you try another because you know immediately you're not comfortable. Listen to your intuition, they are one of the best measures at this time
