Whose responsibility is it for a successful outcome after Therapy?
(A) You
(B) The Therapist
(C) Both
If I am the one to answer the question I am going to say both. Simply because you have to be willing to get better or at least help yourself get better. The Therapist doesn't wake up in the daybreak with you & go about your routine nor do they end the day with you. Those are feats you must go through yourself. You have to want to be ok, you have to want to get through it. You have to be willing to forgive yourself, willing to accept grief. The Therapist can assist you in coming to an understanding of the things you are powerless over but the deep work happens within.
Therapy or group gives space for words of encouragement that you might find hard giving yourself. Therapy or group allows one to rant & rave about what upsets them. These supports can point you in the right direction but nothing can be done without your willingness. Things can be done by force but it's always better when you surrender to your own inner healing. If going to therapy is suggested to you, don't take it as an offensive statement, just know you may need someone to rant & rave with that has no personal connection to you & that is trained not to take your pain offensively. Try it, It might ease some stressors. If you can't talk to a therapist or if you have no support system comment below & we can chat!
