Therapist and author Esther Perel talks her first time going to therapy and how she redefines communication
“I’ve had my share of lousy therapy. I had my share of useless therapy. Then, I’ve had a few people who helped me try to change my life,” the psychotherapist and author tells. In the latest segment of “The First Time,” Perel reveals that when she was 18, she realized she was not happy.
“I realized I was often very melancholic and that I was rather tortured sometimes, even though I had the same effervescence and energy as I have today,” she says. “But inside, it was a different story.” As a real psychotherapist, she finds identifying with a fictional therapist difficult. “For so many years, I thought that the therapists on screen were often terribly portrayed,” she says. The first American movie she used in teaching was “More and more, there are some very interesting portrayals of therapies that are closer to the realities,” she adds.
As Perel shares stories about her experience as a therapist, she laughs while admitting that she’s “given bad advice many times.” During her sessions, she wants the person to tell her if the advice resonates with them, otherwise they need to go down another route. The only thing she could label as “bad” is when she goes too fast and is too far ahead of the person during the session.
