Why Therapy Doesn’t Work For Mentally Ill People
Traditional therapy is failing the mentally ill community. The current system wasn't built for those battling severe mental health challenges.
Insurance barriers and practice models push the most skilled therapists toward treating the "worried well." The harsh reality is that finding a therapist who truly understands chronic mental illness requires exhausting trial and error.
In this video, I explain why most therapy techniques fall short for severe mental health issues. You'll learn why your past therapy experiences may have failed you and gain realistic expectations for finding the right help.
If you're looking for a good therapist, you might enjoy this video on my criteria for choosing.
