210 sats \ 3 replies \ @elvismercury 6 Jul \ on: Seeking advice for finding a good therapist AskSN
After a fair amount of looking and asking the same question, the answer seems to be:
  1. Ask friends if they have someone they really like
  2. Trial and error
It would be great if there was some more systematic way to solve this, search-engine style, but the incentives and regulations guarantee there cannot be.
Related: I have found quite a bit of mental well-being utility from Sam Harris's "Waking Up" app. The Alan Watts back catalogue is easily worth the annual fee, which is steep, but worth it . (And this coming from someone who finds Harris himself off-putting.)

I've stayed away from the app because I find Harris off-putting (didn't used to, but something changed), so I appreciate the qualified rec!

For me it was this episode when I realized I could no longer tolerate him.

Yep he got super partisan. Before he’d keep it philosophical and politics would bloom in the grass of that occasionally, but it got kind of shrill before too long.
