Hello, friends! This is a re-release of episode 74, in which I dive deep into 10 tips that you can use to get the most out of therapy. This is great advice whether you are a therapy newbie, a seasoned veteran, or still thinking about whether therapy is for you. Here are the tips I cover:

  1. You don\u2019t need to impress your therapist
  2. Don\u2019t lie to your therapist
  3. Don\u2019t be afraid to get emotional and let it out
  4. Challenge your therapist and correct them
  5. If it\u2019s not working, say something
  6. Find someone you are comfortable with
  7. Get therapy sooner
  8. Take notes and journal
  9. Do the homework and practice the skills
  10. Talk about the relationship between you and your therapist during session
