“How do I dump my therapist without it being weird?”

Where do people actually find their therapists? Do they use Google, rub a magic lamp, or ask a friend of a friend’s wife who “swears by hers”? (Hint: therapists don’t vanish after three sessions.) Next question: What’s the difference between sitting in a therapist’s office and a doctor’s office—besides the extra pillows? Final question: When is the right time to end therapy? Is it when you run out of things to say, run out of copays, or when your therapist smiles proudly and says, “We’re done here”?

Most of us stumble into therapy expecting it to be a one-way process, not realising it's a collaborative effort. This workbook is your guide to effective collaboration. It explains how to find a therapist (across different countries) and filter by what's important to you. You’ll learn to identify red and green flags and receive ready-to-use email templates for starting and ending therapy. There are reflection questions throughout to help you consolidate what you’ve learned.
