WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PSYCHOTHERAPY

Psychotherapy in general is a setting for authentic, intimate, and unique interactions between a client and a therapist. It requires an interpersonal relationship, with the goal of helping a client heal or relieve distress. We call this unique relationship the therapeutic alliance. The way you, as a client, feel with the therapist. If you feel heard, recognized and understood, if you feel that the therapist can help you, the probability for change is the highest. So, matching yourself with a therapist where you feel you can be completely open and vulnerable is key for change. It's less about the techniques the therapist is using during your journey of healing. 

It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client. 

But in the end, making small changes can bring life-altering results.
