Common Experiences During Therapy
It is normal for therapy to involve fluctuations in how you feel over time. Common experiences include:
The Therapeutic Process
Therapy is a collaborative process. It is not something that is “done” to you. The depth and pace of progress depend on a range of factors, including the nature and duration of the difficulties, the severity of symptoms, and your capacity to engage with the work.
My role is to support effective, focused progress while ensuring your needs are adequately addressed. We will review progress at appropriate intervals and adjust direction as needed.
Ending Therapy
When therapy is nearing completion, this is discussed in advance and approached deliberately. Ending therapy is best done within a session, allowing time to reflect on progress, consolidate gains, and discuss next steps or recommendations.
Abrupt endings are generally not advised. Once therapy is underway, ending via text, email, or a brief call is not sufficient to ensure appropriate closure. Even when you feel ready to move on, a planned final session supports a more complete and beneficial conclusion.
It is normal for therapy to involve fluctuations in how you feel over time. Common experiences include:
- Initial relief and optimism, with expectations of rapid progress
- Symptom improvement, sometimes followed by a sense of being “better” and finished
- Improvement followed by a return of symptoms, which can feel confusing or discouraging
- Temporary symptom intensification, often as deeper or previously unrecognised issues come into awareness. This can include frustration or irritation toward others, and occasionally toward the therapist
