When I started my own therapy sessions (the most recent bout, as I've seen several therapists over the course of my life), we began discussing the things that I thought were the issue. We worked out a few goals for the time and revisited them regularly. As the time passed, the four sessions I was to start with extended to eight, and we explored many new avenues. Together we uncovered many concerns that I had, that I didn't even realize I had. Halfway through our sessions, we began to work on meditative techniques. Those were my favourite ten minutes of every session. They centred me. We decided I might need up to twelve sessions with her to explore what I needed to explore. But in the end, we used ten. Why am I telling you all of this? Because therapy isn't always what you expect it will be. You do need to be ready and willing to work; to put yourself in places that aren't fully comfortable. But it is a safe place, and if you develop goals for the sessions and let yourself go with it, you might surprise yourself in what you discover. For me, it was a great experience for the time I needed it. I can't say the same for previous therapy sessions or previous therapists.
