The process of psychotherapy may bring up uncomfortable inner experiences (thoughts and feelings such as sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, pain, helplessness). In short you may feel worse before you feel better. However, psychotherapy may increase your tolerance for such experiences, or lead to their reduction. Psychotherapy may also lead to:
- Feelings of empowerment,
- self-acceptance & self-compassion.
- Personal growth/development & increased self-awareness and insight.
- Improved communication skills and more fulfilling relationships.
- Increase in positive thoughts and decrease in negative thinking.
- Improved overall mood and positive changes in behaviour.
- Enhanced self-esteem/confidence and feelings of connectedness and belonging.
