If you are hurting inside, or your life just doesn't seem to be
working, talking with friends or family members can sometimes help
you feel a little better for a little while. But even the most well-
meaning friend can't provide therapy. Therapy is a treatment process
that uses specialized techniques of caring that have been designed
to offer effective, long-lasting help for people suffering from a
wide range of difficulties, such as emotional distress, anxiety,
marital strife, fears, a significant loss, or a clinical disorder.
Therapy can also help fulfill aspirations for personal growth or
self-improvement.
One of the biggest misconceptions about therapy is that seeing a
therapist is a sign of weakness. In fact, quite the opposite is
true. Recognizing the need for help and seeking professional therapy
is a sign of both strength and your determination to live a
productive and meaningful life! Working together, you and your
therapist will identify your goals—what you want to have happen—and
agree on how you'll know when you are making progress. Therapy has
one clear and definite purpose: that something of positive value and
constructive usefulness will come out of it for you.
Therapy has often been called the "talking cure," since the exchange
of words between the client and therapist can appear to be the most
obvious form of communication that is going on. In reality, therapy
can offer a much richer experience than the simple exchange of words
and advice. The thoughts and feelings you share and the professional
techniques the therapist uses are not nearly as important as the
relationship you build together. Because the relationship with the
therapist is so essential to the effectiveness of the process, it is
very important that you find someone with whom you feel a
comfortable connection, a therapist who makes you feel safe.
As therapy progresses and your trust in the therapist's non-
judgmental acceptance of your thoughts and feelings is established,
you will actually use the relationship as an opportunity to reshape
significant emotional experiences and work through problems in your
life. In therapy, you intentionally make yourself vulnerable to
another human being and you may talk about some things that are very
painful for you. However, it is the very process of trusting that
it's safe to release your feelings—the good and the bad--and knowing
that the therapeutic relationship permits you to safely explore
deeply felt sources of conflict and dissatisfaction that will
finally allow you to make lasting, positive changes in your life.
