What To Expect in Individual Therapy

Starting individual therapy can be a significant step toward personal growth and mental wellbeing. If you're considering therapy or are gearing up for your first session, it can help to know what the process typically involves and how to prepare for it. Here's what you can expect during your therapy journey.

One-on-One Attention: Your therapist will work with you personally to address and clarify the concerns affecting your happiness and overall mental health.

Pattern Identification: Together, you'll identify and explore the patterns or underlying issues that may be contributing to a negative self-perception or distress.

Safe Space: Expect a supportive, confidential, and judgment-free environment where you are free to express your inner most thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Skill Building: Your therapist will introduce and teach new strategies and coping mechanisms that are designed to strengthen your self-esteem and help manage stress or anxiety.

How to Prepare for Your First Session

Arrive on Time: Ensure you're set up to arrive for your session punctually so you have the full time allocated to address your needs.

Open Mindset: Keep an open mind as therapy often involves discussing and thinking about things differently than you might be used to.

Questions and Honesty: Prepare questions you may have for your therapist and be as honest as possible to get the most out of your sessions.

Comfort: Dress in a way that you feel comfortable to ease any physical discomfort or distraction.

Personal Goals: Consider setting some goals for what you’d like to achieve in therapy - this gives you and your therapist a target to work towards.

Self-Compassion: Give yourself credit for taking the brave step to attend therapy, and be kind to yourself as you begin this process.

Mental Health Notice: Observe any changes in your mental health daily and seek immediate help if symptoms intensify significantly before your session.

Post-Therapy Reflection: Plan some quiet time after sessions to reflect on what was discussed; this can be an integral part of the therapeutic process.
