I know its very scary to open up your life to a stranger. Therapy is a personal choice and one that you should consider only when you are ready. However, it is very difficult to manage through life’s stressors all alone. Therefore, finding the right therapist that you are comfortable with and building a therapeutic alliance with them is crucial to your growth, whenever you are considering therapy.

Therapy will help you grow in the following areas: 

✦ Assist with processing some of your post painful and personal experiences 

✦ Helping to heal your depression and anxiety along with other mental health issues 

✦ Having a better understanding of yourself, your identity and your goals. 

✦ Problem and conflict resolution 

✦ Improving communication and self-esteem 

✦ Improving relationship with yourself and others

Yes, I know its nerve-racking! Who will this person be and how will I possibly open up my entire life to them? I will say that it is quite normal to feel this way. I remember the first time going to therapy myself and how anxiety-provoking it was for me. You should expect to feel uncomfortable as therapy dives deep into your life and you will discover so much about yourself, your family, your relationships and your coping patterns. Initially, it may be shocking, however, in the process of therapy, you will learn how to accept and cope with these things.
