That said, don’t beat yourself up in this process. People rarely open up right away. In this respect, think about how long you’ve been in therapy. If you just started, you probably have a long way to go.
And remember that you may need to push yourself to open up. If you’re struggling, ask your therapist for help. You’re not in this alone. Your therapist is your team captain and your greatest cheerleader.
Thinking of having a therapy affair? This may be a red flag that therapy isn't working. And it can be an eye-opener in the way of moving into a new realm of treatment.
According to Psychology Today, there’s something to be said for a “nagging feeling that there may be other treatment options.” This is why you need to ask yourself if your heart is looking elsewhere. In truth, there may be other options that are a better fit for you.
Psychology Today suggests talking to your therapist about alternative treatment options. This will help you to make an educated decision. Your therapist may think that treatment is going well, but he or she can still help you to navigate the waters.
