Sometimes people come to therapy hoping for a quick answer. While this is understandable, it rarely happens. Few people go to the trouble and expense of therapy without having tried hard to solve the problem on their own. Some people wait for their therapist to solve the problem. This approach guarantees disappointment.
Therapy is hard work.
While there are times we ask people to try out new ideas or new behaviors, answers to problems will be the result of our mutual exploration and effort. Push yourself to talk about the things you find the hardest to discuss. What you want to discuss least is probably what we need to discuss most. The sooner we get to them, the faster we will finish. Bringing them out into the light of day is a big step in making them manageable.
