I’ve got a bunch of therapy-related questions, and here is the first one:
During the sessions, do you feel that your way of thinking about something is pierced and transformed by an insight? Do you go, “oh, wow, I never thought of it this way but it totally makes sense”?
Do you feel that you have extra energy? This is something that happens pretty immediately if things are going to work.
Do you feel lighter?
Do you feel that you need unhealthy compensatory mechanisms less?
Do you smoke, drink, vape, eat, game, scroll, etc less?
Do you feel a need to be more physically active?
If none of this is happening and the problems you initially wanted to address aren’t resolving either, then it might not be working. It’s very possible that the therapist is great and you are great but the relationship between the two of you can’t give you the relief you need.
