What does progress look like in therapy? There are many clients that ask this question hoping to have a burst of enlightenment or transcend to the skies with their life or circumstance. The truth is self development and healing is an ongoing process, but doesn't mean therapy has to be. A therapist will track goals that were developed in the beginning of counseling, but how is that YOU know? It's quite simple...ask these 3 questions:
1. Do I feel the same way about the problem from when I started?
2. Am I able to now identify my feelings vs run away or suppress?
3. Do I see a better change in my habits/behaviors with symptoms?
If yes, therapy seems to be working and it may be time to re-evaluate if you need to continue.
