In this video blog, psychotherapist Julie Hoffmann discusses how to evaluate if therapy is working for you and what steps to take if it isn’t. It is important to feel safe and connected with your therapist. In this video, Julie provides a checklist of questions to help assess this. One helpful tool is to identify your motivations for seeking therapy, track your symptoms, and set clear goals with your therapist. You can evaluate progress through self-awareness and regular check-ins with your therapist to ensure therapy is meeting your needs.
If therapy doesn’t seem to be working, you can have open conversations with your therapist, and potentially refresh your goals. It is okay to switch therapists if the current one isn’t a good fit. The therapeutic process takes patiences and openness. Therapy is a collaborative tool for personal growth and wellness, and you deserve a space that helps you make the changes you want.
