But what happens if the discomfort starts to feel like something isn&#8217;t right? You might begin to wonder, <em>should I find a different therapist<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Pay Attention to Your Feelings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to trust how you feel during and after sessions. If your therapist says something that doesn\u2019t sit well, take note. Discomfort can come from a therapist challenging you or when the conversation feels vulnerable, but if there&#8217;s a pattern of feeling judged or invalidated, it may be time to reassess the relationship and ask yourself, <em>is it time to find a different therapist<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Role of Trust and Safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Therapy should help you feel safe, even when discussing tough topics. If your therapist\u2019s approach leaves you questioning yourself or feeling physically uneasy, trust your instincts. It\u2019s important to feel supported and heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bringing Up Issues with Your Therapist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If something your therapist says doesn\u2019t feel right, bring it up. A good therapist will appreciate your honesty and work with you to resolve any misunderstandings. If they aren\u2019t open to this conversation, that\u2019s a red flag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When to Move On<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, no matter how experienced a therapist is, they may not be the right fit for you. If you consistently feel uncomfortable or unsupported, even after addressing concerns, it might be time to move on. Listen to your gut, and don\u2019t ignore feelings of discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, you deserve to work with someone who helps you heal, not someone who makes you feel worse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more on this topic, check out this video:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Healing Sexual Abuse Q&amp;A ~ When is it time to find a new therapist?\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lsyOy7E5x98?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.courageousjourneys.com\/\"><em>Read all blogs here<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n    <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n    <title>Responsive Cards<\/title>\n    <style>\n        body {\n            font-family: Noto Serif Display, serif;\n            margin: 0;\n            padding: 20px;\n            background-color: #ffffff;\n        }\n\n        .container {\n            display: grid;\n            grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);\n            gap: 20px;\n        }\n\n        .card {\n            background-color: #fff;\n            padding: 20px;\n            border-radius: 10px;\n            box-shadow: 0 4px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n            transition: transform 0.2s;\n        }\n\n        .card:hover {\n            transform: scale(1.05);\n        }\n\n        .card img {\n            width: 100%;\n            height: auto;\n            border-radius: 10px;\n        }\n\n        .card h2 {\n            font-size: 1.5rem;\n            margin: 10px 0;\n        }\n\n        .card p {\n            font-size: 1rem;\n            color: #555;\n        }\n\n        .card a {\n            display: inline-block;\n            margin-top: 15px;\n            color: #02444b;\n            text-decoration: none;\n            font-weight: bold;\n            transition: color 0.3s;\n        }\n\n        .card a:hover {\n            color: #0056b3;\n        }\n\n        \/* Tablet: 2 columns *\/\n        @media (max-width: 1024px) {\n            .container {\n                grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);\n            }\n        }\n\n        \/* Mobile: 1 column *\/\n        @media (max-width: 768px) {\n            .container {\n                grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n            }\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<\/head>\n<body>\n\n<div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"card\">\n        <figure>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/courageousjourneys.com\/22768\/files\/67e44e79d6236_1743015545_1.png\" alt=\"Returning to Wholeness\">\n        <\/figure>\n        <h2>Returning to Wholeness Journal Course<\/h2>\n        <p>A journey for survivors of childhood trauma of learning to trust and embody the TRUTH of who you&#8217;ve always been.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/courageousjourneys.com\/courses\/returningtowholenessjc\">Learn more<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"card\">\n        <figure>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/courageousjourneys.com\/22768\/files\/67e401cf00f63_1742995919_7.png\" alt=\"Connecting Within\">\n        <\/figure>\n        <h2>Connecting Within<\/h2>\n        <p>Guided meditations to help heal mind, body &#038; soul.<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/courageousjourneys.com\/courses\/connecting-within-meditations\">Learn more<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"card\">\n        <figure>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/courageousjourneys.com\/22768\/files\/67e401b953161_1742995897_6.png\" alt=\"Sacred Boundaries\">\n        <\/figure>\n        <h2>Sacred Boundaries<\/h2>\n        <p>A journey of honoring heart, mind, body &#038; soul.
