How to Get the Most Out of Psychotherapy
The effectiveness of therapy can vary depending on a wide range of factors. The nature and severity of your problem will play a role, but there are also things you can do to get the most out of your sessions, including:
-
Being honest with your therapist: Don't try to hide problems or feelings. Your goal is to show up as your authentic self without trying to hide aspects of your personality that you might be afraid to reveal.
-
Feel your feelings: Don't try to hide negative or distressing emotions such as grief, anger, fear, or jealousy. Talking about these feelings within the context of therapy can help you understand them better.
-
Being open to the process: Work on forming a genuine therapeutic relationship with your therapist.
-
Attending your sessions and doing the work: Life gets busy. However, if you stick to your treatment plan, complete in-between session exercises, and keep your scheduled appointments, your therapy will have a lasting impact.
