Going to a therapist can be a worthwhile growing and stabilizing experience, good for times when you have specific problems, interpersonal problems, or generally feeling down. You can go to a therapist once, for a few months or embark on long-term therapy–each depends on different expectations and goals.
The time when most people tend to go to a therapist is during a crisis. A crisis is an immediate threat to your life, where you feel in danger, suicidal, or inability to live your life in a normal productive way. Examples of when a crisis can occur includes:after love ones have died, breaking up in relationships, times of depression or if you are in danger or have been harmed in some way. The reason for going to therapy at this point is so to be able to stabilize your life so that it is not in any immediate threat. Sometimes, this entails only having a short visit, in which the therapist uses crisis counseling.
I’ve found it helps clients to have an idea of what will happen in a session, so I have a basic structure. The session starts with the client telling me about what has been happening for them since our last meeting. We check in on any homework that was suggested. I ask the client if there is anything they want to talk about. Normally the client has outlined goals for therapy (what they would like to be different when therapy is finished) and that always provides areas for conversations. This is your therapy, so again you get to choose!
Therapy is an art. Every client is different, with different needs for the amount of time they will be seeing a therapist. Personally, I operate from the perspective of ‘this is your therapy’ and you get to choose. If a client is in crisis, then I suggest meeting weekly until things become more stable. Once the crisis is past, we move to bi-weekly or even monthly. It depends on what the client chooses as well as what is in their best interest therapeutically. Ethically, a therapist shouldn’t want a client to have to come forever. The overall goal is that people feel better and go back to their lives.
Basically, whatever you say in therapy, stays in therapy. However, there are times when a therapist is legally obligated to break confidentiality:
Trauma resolution, less anxiety, greater self confidence, better relationships, regaining emotional balance, increased assertiveness, stress relief, ability to set boundaries.
