How to Make The Most Out of Your Therapy

The process of therapy is just that - a process.  In a time of incredibly jam-packed schedules, so many of us want our healing (and really, most things in life) to go quickly or have a magic pill.  The thing is, often times the problems and/or challenges that motivate us to enter treatment in the first place have taken years and sometimes a lifetime to develop.  Thus, healing from life’s challenges and shifting directions is a process that takes time.  Given this, I thought I would share ways to make the most of your time in therapy.  Do you have to do these things?  Absolutely not.  However, the more you take your therapeutic work outside of the therapy office and do work between sessions, the more quickly you will likely heal (versus if you don’t do those things).  These aren’t really short cuts to therapy; change takes time.  But they can help reduce in-office work or the length of time in therapy.
