There are so many factors to consider, however here’s some of the top reasons people may feel that therapy hasn’t worked in the past
They didn’t connect with their therapist
They weren’t ready to commit to the process
The type of therapy was not suited to them at that moment in time
Their expectations were off. i.e. They were looking for someone to ‘fix’ ‘heal’ them (no one can heal you, only yourself, therapy/coaching are tools, and therapist’s facilitators, guides and supporters, not magicians!)
They subconsciously wanted to avoid change, therefore there was resistance to the process
They sought therapy because other people told them to, not because they wanted to
From a personal perspective these are things I have over-come in therapy; binge drinking, binge drug taking, smoking weed, panic attacks, sleep anxiety, driving anxiety, fear of public speaking, narcissistic/emotional/physical abuse, dysfunctional relationship patterns, childhood trauma, sexual dysfunction, family estrangement, low confidence, lack of self-worth, negative over thinking, and that’s just a few of the positive life changes that have been the result of me investing in therapy/coaching/training and my mental health.
