What is one pearl of wisdom you would offer clients about therapy?
Take risks. Say honest things to your therapist you'd never say in the outside world. Have a sudden flashback memory? Say it. Feel an urge to run, kick, laugh or scream? Say it. Don't want to be here today? Say it. Have a question about the therapist or therapy? Ask it. Afraid that your thoughts are too heavy, too "crazy" or demand too much from the therapist? Say it anyway, these thoughts can help us understand you on a deep level. Therapy is the one place you can come and let the odd thoughts out. Take advantage of it.

What is one pearl of wisdom you would offer clients about therapy?
Do not conceal your reservations or negative feelings about the therapy from your therapist. If you feel you are being misunderstood, if you feel the therapist talks too much or not enough, if you feel the therapist's concerns are placed above your own, if you feel that the therapist imposes theoretical models on you that do not fit with your own subjective experience, or if you feel the therapist is distracted and bored, bring up these concerns and expect to have them taken seriously. Any therapist who dismisses them is not someone you want to continue seeing.
