When Therapy Isn’t Working: 5 Tips to Get Better Results

Therapy Isn't working? Try this....

Therapy can be life-changing, but it doesn’t always feel like progress happens as quickly as you’d like. If you’re not seeing the results you hoped for, don’t give up! Here are five things you can do to make therapy more effective:


Be Honest and Open

Share your thoughts and feelings as honestly as possible, even if they feel messy or embarrassing. Your therapist can only help with the issues you’re willing to talk about.


Set Clear Goals

Think about what you want to achieve in therapy. Whether it’s reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or increasing confidence, having clear goals helps guide the process.


Do the Homework

Therapy often involves practicing skills or reflecting on insights outside of sessions. Follow through with these activities to reinforce what you’re learning.


Communicate About the Process

If something isn’t working, tell your therapist. They can adjust their approach or try different techniques to better meet your needs.


Be Patient with Yourself

Growth takes time. Celebrate small wins along the way and remember that therapy is a process, not a quick fix.


What to Do Next

Therapy is a partnership, and your involvement matters. If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about your progress, let’s talk about how we can work together to make it more effective.
