Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Therapy is truly a two-way street that involves the willingness of the patient and the skill of the provider.Įach person comes to therapy with concerns that vary in severity and treatment needs. It is a skill that we all hone to survive in our current society, so, naturally, we all do a great job! However, when we don’t let the barriers down, the healing process cannot penetrate the person. Many of us don’t realize when we are avoiding painful thoughts, feelings or experiences and how we go about deflecting and redirecting. While therapy can result in both pain reduction and healing, it takes the willingness of the individual to acknowledge their deepest struggles in the room.Īcknowledging our deepest struggles is hard on so many levels. Some people come to therapy for this very reason - as they believe that therapy can fix their issues or reduce their pain if they simply come to their appointments each week. It is no surprise that many people have a harder time bringing these topics to the forefront, and you may be one of those people. However, what brings people to therapy most often is a conscious, deep-seated struggle that is painful, unprocessed, and significantly impacting their wellbeing. In no way are these topics unimportant in fact, they should be brought into the therapeutic space. Oftentimes, what you may focus on in therapy is a bad conversation you had with your boss, a confrontation that just happened with a friend, or a crazy subway ride that caused anxiety on the way to your appointment. With the many challenges you face, it can often feel like there is not enough time to delve into the root of your concerns in 45 minutes of therapy.
