Some people still think of a person laying on a couch while a therapist analyzes their brain. Other people used to think a therapist could magically tell whether you are crazy or not. What powers the
Hopefully something useful, right?
In individual therapy, there is rarely laying down on the couch time and if there is, Houston you’ve got a problem! What you will see is a friendly face asking you questions and trying to get to know you. And, this friendly face should also be answering any questions you have. Kind of like having tea with a close
friend except you do most of the talking, and it feels good to talk.
Now, once that initial get to know you is completed. Then you are on to developing a plan or a set of goals for your therapy sessions. The therapist is going to look to you to identify what your biggest
problems or concerns are. You will work together to get you unstuck, to alleviate your symptoms, to make life more manageable and most of all help to you feel better. The therapist may ask you to use a few fancy techniques or tools to really ensure you meet your goals in a timely fashion. Just humor them. They
love their fancy tools!
It does take some work on your part and you may even have a bit of homework occasionally. It’s all part
of the plan you develop together, and what you will leave with is so worth it.
Go, take the next step, call or email me, and get happy! The water is warm, and you won’t be alone for a single step of the journey.
