the goals of therapy
Psychotherapy involves you and your therapist working together in order to make positive changes in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The core goals of therapy are to:
- humbly examine our everyday beliefs and assumptions
- practice respecting ourself at every stage of growth and healing
- honestly assess the validity and helpfulness of our thoughts
- brave our triggers and discomfort to practice more effective coping
- stand strong in the truth of what wellness really means for us and in our relationships with others
- apply wise principles to achieve our wellness goals
- feel heard and cared for within the therapeutic relationship
