Recognising that therapy is working can sometimes be subtle and gradual, but there are a number of positive indicators that can signal progress.
💡 You are becoming more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
💡 You have more hope. Even if you are where you want to be right now, you know you’ll get there.
💡 You are kinder to yourself and less critical when things don’t go as planned.
💡 You are using new healthy coping skills in difficult situations.
💡 You think differently, you are able to challenge unhelpful thoughts.
💡 Your symptoms are less intense and less frequent. You feel more able to manage when they do appear.
Success looks different for everything, some people notice changes right away, others it might take some time. You know you best.
Are there any other signs you would add? How do you know when therapy is starting to work?
