Progress! Talk to your therapist anytime you feel you are, or you are not making progress. This is valuable information for the therapy process.
Not to be concerned about your therapist’s feelings, trust that your therapist knows how to do her or his job and take care of themselves. Therapy is about you. Learn something new! If you are not learning something new, help the therapist help you. The therapist should assist you in finding the answers to your own questions by connecting her or his knowledge to your unique experiences.
Challenge your therapist if you need to. You deserve it. Feel cared for, understood, and heard by your therapist. Trust your instincts and look out for yourself. Your therapist should explore different methods to address your concerns until it feels right for you. You decide if the therapy style used by your therapist works for you. Talk to your therapist before deciding to switch to another therapist. Even though in some cases it might be needed, it’s important to prevent “therapy shopping.” Give your current therapist time to learn about yourself and give yourself time to work through your expectations
