Effective Therapy is a partnership
If you are seeking therapy now, chances are something needs to change in your life. Your job is to find a good therapist you can trust and then practice the steps you need to take in order to create the life you dreamed of.
Starting therapy is an act of hope that your life can be all you’ve dreamed of. Practicing new behaviors one small (sometimes very small) step at a time creates a new path that will lead you to a better, richer, fuller life.
Dream it.
It is a powerful act to decide you want to change your life.
Build it.
Break it down into small steps. Investigate. Ask smart people. Journal. Move your body. Listen to music. Walk your dog. Do something new and notice a new life begin to grow.
Grow it.
Use this information to craft a plan for yourself. Begin to grieve the old dreams that need to die so new dreams can grow. Be brave. Ask for help. Keep going.
