Occupational Therapy
IMPACT
Individual psychotherapy is a process that depends on the fit between the client and the therapist because the impact depends on the level of trust and openness of the client. It can be emotionally painful and might lead to discussions of topics you have never talked about with anyone else or on allowing emotions that we suppress in other areas of our lives.
SUCCESS
Like most aspects of the psychotherapeutic relationship, success in therapy is defined within the individualized relationship itself. Success can include a reduction or better management of difficult mental health symptoms, recovery from trauma, deepening relationships with others or finding new levels of intimacy, making decisions and adjusting to the consequences, finding new daily practices that help us appreciate ourselves and our own unique preciousness, or myriad other self-defined outcomes.
