I know therapy is working when __________.
How do you finish that sentence?
Last week I shared about unseen influences, this one stood at to me when I was thinking about ideas for my reel. Working with people, sometimes it’s easy to rush ahead into “the work” overlooking the work starts with slowing down.
That process can be uncomfortable for a lot of reasons, it’s when we start to see patterns and continue to engage with them…only we start to understand that’s what we don’t want anymore. So the same topics emerge week after week, and the conclusion emerges that it’s not working.
This is what therapy feels like sometimes, it’s messy.
Leaving therapy and feeling not great? It’s not uncommon and assumptions live on that therapy equates to feeling better right away. Therapists are committed to not doing harm; but that doesn’t mean we can provide quick fixes to alleviate symptoms immediately.
So what ~should~ therapy feel like?
