Ever felt like your therapist understood your words but missed the mark on understanding you? You're not alone. It's not just about intellectual comprehension; it's about feeling safe, seen, and heard.
We all crave emotional attunement, especially in therapy. While it's tempting to assume that a therapist who shares our faith will automatically "get" us, it's not always the case. Attunement transcends cognitive understanding. Whether your counselor shares your faith or not, what matters most is their ability to connect with you emotionally. God can work through anyone, regardless of their background.
So, as you embark on your therapy journey, remember that the key lies in finding someone who truly sees you, someone who facilitates healing without adding to your pain. Don't let assumptions cloud your search for emotional attunement.
