When should I expect to feel better?
When you will feel better will be different for everyone. Some people feel better right away because getting started and having support instills hope. Having someone validate your concerns can feel like you are less alone.
For some, starting the process can be hard, and sometimes you may feel worse before you feel better. Please don’t let this scare you away from therapy. It just means that talking about things you don’t typically talk about can bring up uncomfortable feelings. It’s a process, and if you stick with it, you will feel better.
Also, we’re not very good at remembering how we used to feel, so it can be hard to compare how we feel today with how we felt yesterday. One way to track how you feel is to chart your progress on a scale. Your provider can help you do this during your visits. Some people like to journal about their feelings so they can look back and read about how they used to feel and compare it to the present.
If many weeks go by and you are not feeling better, it’s a good time to talk with your provider. The two of you can figure out if another approach is needed.
