Reply To: Therapy agreement. Is this logical?

I don’t think it’s unusual for a therapist to say that, basically, what they can offer won’t benefit you. I have had depression in the past and I remember a therapist saying that really I should see a psychiatrist to get meds prescribed, or like focus on faith, but she really couldn’t help me any further. It’s their choice to work with you or not. And no, I don’t think “the point” of therapy is to help you gradually start taking your meds. She’s probably saying she needs you to be in that base level state of being properly medicated before she would be able to make progress on your mental health issues via talk therapy.
