How effective is individual therapy?
One of the key components to successful therapy will also be finding the right clinician that is a good fit. When you find comfort and trust in your therapist, you are more likely to cooperate and engage in the therapeutic process in a more effective way. Honesty and trust in the therapeutic relationship is vital to ensure clinicians can find the right form of treatment approach that will greatly improve your needs. Some days you may find it hard to go to therapy because it is easier to avoid the difficult parts we do not want to deal with, but it is essential that each session is attended, and homework assigned is completed. With the assistance of your clinician, and being patient, open, and honest, you will be able to lead the life you want.
