Therapy expectations

✨ In therapy, it's easy to think the therapist will “fix” everything, but healing is a partnership. Think of it like working with a personal trainer. You wouldn’t expect to build muscle after one hour a week, right? It takes consistency, practice, and time. 💪


The same goes for mental health. Your therapist is here to guide and support you, but it’s up to you to keep practicing the tools you learn. It’s about small, everyday actions that build up to lasting change. 🌱


And remember, rest is just as important as the work. It’s okay to fall back on old coping strategies sometimes—what matters is how you treat yourself during those moments. Be kind to yourself and keep going. You’re doing great. 💖
