What does therapy look like?

A couple of quick thoughts from one of our psychologists about what it’s like coming to therapy:

Entering therapy involves honest self-assessment and openness to addressing the personal and social challenges we face every day. The same challenges we often choose to hide from others and even ourselves.

It requires trusting a therapist with self-disclosure and welcoming their reflections and feedback. It often pushes us to challenge our self-perceptions and perceptions of those around us and assess the thought patterns and coping habits that have become second nature.
