What To Do In The Meantime?
While you wait to connect with us, here are a few things you can do to support yourself and prepare for your journey into therapy:
1. Reflect on Your Goals
Think about what brought you here and what you’d like to achieve through therapy. Are there specific challenges you want to address? Or perhaps you’re seeking a space to better understand yourself? Jotting down your thoughts can help clarify your goals and make your first session more productive.
2. Practice Self Care
Taking care of yourself is essential, especially during times of transition. Try to engage in activities that bring you comfort and joy, such as taking a walk, journaling, practicing mindfulness, or spending time with loved ones.
3. Gather Relevant Information
If there are specific life events or patterns you’d like to discuss in therapy, consider writing them down. This could include significant moments, recurring emotions, or anything else you feel might help your therapist understand your story.
4. Celebrate This Step!
Acknowledge the bravery it takes to seek support. This is a meaningful investment in yourself and your well-being. Take a moment to honour this decision and remind yourself that you deserve care and understanding.
How To Prepare for Therapy
Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s natural to have questions about what to expect. Here are some tips to help you prepare:
BE OPEN
Therapy is a collaborative process. Come with an open mind and a willingness to share your thoughts and feelings.
SET REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS
Change doesn’t happen overnight, but every session is a step toward growth and healing. Trust the process.
COMMIT TO THE WORK YOU ARE ABOUT TO EMBARK ON
Therapy is most effective when you actively engage both during and outside of sessions. Consider ways you can apply what you learn to your daily life.
BE PATIENT AND KIND TO YOURSELF
Growth takes time. It’s okay to feel unsure or overwhelmed at first; we’re here to guide you through it.
Remember,
You are not alone.
We’re here to support you every step of the way. No matter what challenges you’re facing, there is hope. By reaching out, you’ve already started the process of building a stronger, healthier future.
If you have any immediate questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at 705-220-3599. We look forward to connecting with you soon.
