Therapy is not easy. I repeat, the therapeutic process can be painful and tiresome, but so much more rewarding because it allows individuals to be free from bondage or other issues that have consumed them. If you’re new to this, let me help you understand how it works. 

First and second sessions consists of relationship building to identify the main issues causing setbacks and increasing disheartening symptoms. The client identifies his or her goal for therapy and goals for what happens outside of therapy. The therapist provides the client with a treatable diagnosis and review what the remainder of the sessions would be like. 

From session three and so on, the real work of reshaping, rebuilding, reprogramming, and whatever else is necessary to create change takes place. 

The therapeutic process can be challenging during these sessions because the focus is on uprooting negative experiences, beliefs/thoughts, and painful emotions. The ultimate goal is for the therapist to help the client facilitate healing. Most importantly, the ideal client(s) is focused on healing from whatever he or she is battling.  

The ideal client would be an individual having difficulties with one or many traumatic experiences, battling stress, or suffering from anxiety, depression, and invalidation from the lack of support from loved ones. When dealing with trauma, it does not matter when it happened because any experience is important. The ideal client would be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, flashbacks, depression, triggers, bouts of anger, invalidation, avoidance, and/or withdrawal.

The ideal family would struggle with communicating and listening to each other to resolve conflicts as a whole. The family typically argues, point the finger, does not take responsibility for their actions, but want to learn how to do better and be more supportive of each other.
