Therapy can be a highly effective way to increase one's sense of well-being and deal with some of life's challenges. It can help a person gain freedom from unhealthy patterns and develop healthier and more satisfying ways of being with oneself and others in relationships. Through therapy, you can grow, gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your feelings, learn new skills, and make changes toward a more satisfying life. Having a good therapist, with whom you feel comfortable and trust, is essential. Therapy is a deeply personal process, which entails sharing your thoughts and feelings, and beginning therapy can be scary. However, a skilled therapist can help you feel more comfortable with the process.
