WHAT YOU CAN DO..
... TO GET THE BEST FROM YOUR SESSIONS..
1. Be honest with your therapist: Your goal is to show your true self without trying to hide aspects of your personality you may not feel good about. Share your thoughts and feelings. Talking about them can help you and your therapist to work through them.
2. Value your sessions: Placing value on your therapy will help you to value yourself. Life gets busy, but try to attend regular appointments for therapeutic continuity.
3. Be open to the process: Form an open alliance with your therapist. Research suggests that therapy is most effective when you feel a connection with the mental health professional treating you. Trust that through therapy you are moving forward, even if it doesn't feel that way.
4. Accept that change may take time: Psychotherapy is not an instant process but involves working with your therapist over time. Be patient with yourself, your therapist and the Counselling process.
5. You haven't come this far... only to come this far! Make peace with the broken parts of yourself and embrace the move forward.
