Importance of therapists

They are trained professionals; they know how things will work out in probable
situations. They will not judge your problem as small or big, nor they will shout, scold,
or judge you. They keep it confidential, are unbiased and nonjudgmental. They will
keep updates about your problems and the progresses you are making during the
therapy. They will involve you and work with you to actively find solutions. They are
always ready to solve your queries and prove themselves helpful in improving life
quality. They will make you aware of prevailing mental illnesses and ways to avoid
them. Their priority in therapy is always the safety and well-being of the patient.

themselves. They may learn lifelong coping skills. They help to make thoughtful,
conscious, and empathic choices. It emphasizes greatly on personal growth. Help
people live their best lives. It makes you aware about toxic behavior, self-care, and
dangers of the emotions.
 

Reality check

Therapy is no magic. Therapist can only guide you through. Without giving effort
yourself, no improvement can be promised. You should be ready to give yourself in for
things to happen. Keep in mind that not every therapist or therapy might work for you.
What may work for you well might not always work for others. Make sure that the
therapist is certified and trusted before seeking therapy.
