How does Therapy work?
Therapy is a two- way process. It helps you to navigate your feelings, build better behaviors, and relate to your thoughts differently so you can live the life you enjoy. The counsellor works with you to set goals, track progress, and measure results. Your therapist spends time in session to identify the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that shapes your life.
A therapists listens for patterns to figure out what’s working, what’s not, and come up with a plan that will help you make positive changes. It is clear that change comes not just from going to therapy, but also from spending time practicing the skills that you learn in these sessions. You will leave therapy when you are in a positive state of mind and equipped with the tools to manage life better.
While the session with you is 45 mins long. The counsellor makes use of time before and after your session to prepare and plan for you, so that the session and the next one together, is done in an orderly manner.
It depends from case to case. Research has shown that sessions are most effective if they are held once a week for about 45 min. For a period of 4-6 weeks.
The number of sessions depends on a lot of factors like how well you respond to a session, the intensity or severity of the issue, and how fast you develop skills to tackle things on your own. Though this is information that a lot of people want to know before getting started, it’s not usually possible to tell in advance how many sessions you might need. Each mental health challenge and person is different. That means there is no one size fits all plan for treatment.
Confidentiality is a respected part of psychology’s code of ethics. Psychologistsm understand that for people to feel comfortable talking about private and revealing information, they need a safe place to talk about anything they’d like, without fear of that information leaving the room. They take your privacy very seriously.
As Psychologists , the therapist have to follow certain rules and regulations and clients privacy is one of the most important among them. Though there are some exceptions when confidentiality may have to be broken , each therapist makes sure that the client is aware of the protocol. Do check with the therapist about this in your very first session!
