How Can Therapy Help Me?

Therapy provides a range of benefits, depending on how well you use the process and apply what you learn. By participating in therapy, you can attain a better understanding of yourself, your goals, and values. You can develop skills for improving your relationships, learn new ways to cope with stress and anxiety, manage anger, grief, depression, and other emotional pressures, and improve communication and listening skills. You can also change old behavior patterns, discover new ways to solve problems, and improve your self-esteem and self-confidence.

Do I Really Need Therapy?

While everyone goes through challenging situations in life, there is nothing wrong with seeking extra support when you need it. In fact, therapy is for people who have enough self-awareness to realize they need a helping hand, and that is something to be admired. You are taking responsibility by accepting where you're at in life and making a commitment to change the situation by seeking therapy. Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

Why Do People Go to Therapy and How Do I Know If It Is Right for Me?

People have many different motivations for coming to psychotherapy. Some may be going through a major life transition, or are not handling stressful circumstances well. Some people need assistance managing a range of other issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts, and creative blocks. Therapy can help provide some much-needed encouragement and help with skills to get them through these periods. Others may be at a point where they are ready to learn more about themselves or want to be more effective with their goals in life.

What Is Therapy Like?

Because each person has different issues and goals for therapy, therapy will be different depending on the individual. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life, your personal history relevant to your issue, and report progress (or any new insights gained) from the previous therapy session. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development. It is most common to schedule regular sessions with your therapist (usually weekly). It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process. The ultimate purpose of therapy is to help you bring what you learn in session back into your life. Therefore, beyond the work you do in therapy sessions, your therapist may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy, such as journaling, practicing mindfulness, or engaging in new activities.
