Realistic Expectations for Therapy
Expect a safe, nurturing and neutral space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings
Expect a variety of feelings
Expect your therapist to be a guide, not someone to solve your problems
Expect that you will need patience and commitment as therapy is rarely brings about instantaneous change
Expect your therapist to challenge unhealthy thought process or habits
Expect to focus your attention on progress and improvement and not external things or people that are “wrong.”
Expect that you will have to work hard. Therapy is not a passive process.
Expect that your therapist will hold you accountable to assignments and activities assigned during your sessions
Expect that you and your therapist will set realistic and attainable goals
Expect your therapist to set solid boundaries
