Things to Know About Therapy in Seattle King County

1. Talking about things can help.
It often zaps energy to hold emotions inside and sharing how we are doing often feels better. Talking with a trained and experienced therapist not only offers a sounding board, but they can help with building your perspective and building skills to cope with problems.

2. The more you participate the better your therapy outcomes.
You and your therapist can talk about a lot of great things in your therapy session to help you feel better, but it is important to integrate those things into your daily life. Having a plan for therapy tasks (learning, noticing, and doing things) between sessions is important for beneficial outcomes.
