Guide from erstmalreden.de
Looking for a therapy place is often already a big step. If waiting follows, it can feel frustrating, empty, or frightening.
During the search you may use other support: family doctor, counseling center, 116117, crisis service, social counseling, self-help, or reliable digital health offers.
Note which practices you contacted, whether you are on a waiting list, and what they said. This can help later with health insurance, 116117, or further search.
Ask directly: What can I do until a therapy place is available? Is there counseling, a group, a consultation hour, medical support, or another place? One sentence is enough.
If you are not sure you can get through the waiting time, this is no longer ordinary waiting. Use urgent help, a doctor, crisis service, or 112 in acute danger.
