What to Expect:
A minimum of one session per week is typical in most therapies. Frequency will ultimately be up to the client and be a product of collaboration between client and therapist.
Therapy is helpful for people who are experiencing emotional pain and those who want to improve their ability to live life well. Goals can include a greater understanding of your personality and your relationships with others. Another goal may be to feel better and find a greater sense of personal freedom through learning to cope with or change psychological symptoms rather than feeling controlled by them. Clients can also achieve an enhanced sense of identity, improve their self-esteem, find greater pleasure in love and work, and develop an increased capacity to experience and tolerate both pleasure and pain.
A powerful influence on the helpfulness of therapy is the strength of the client's desire to improve their life, and their individual effort in the therapeutic process. This will require a willingness to be honest with yourself and Dr. Wahl.
Psychotherapy may involve risks as well. Uncomfortable feelings like anxiety, sadness, frustration, loneliness, or helplessness may be aroused, but these frequently subside during the course of treatment. Persons with a significant other, such as a spouse, may also experience increased conflict and tension in that relationship as personal growth entails new ways of relating to others. As a result, adjustments in one's personal relationships are often required. While these adjustments can be difficult and painful, many people find the interpersonal rewards of change to be well worth the effort.
