🛋️✨ Preparing for therapy can make your sessions more meaningful! Here are some questions to reflect on before you meet with your therapist:
💡 What challenges or concerns would I like to explore today?
💭 How have I been feeling this week compared to others?
📅 What happened this week that my therapist should know about?
🔮 What’s coming up before my next session?
✅ What progress did I make?
🧠 What insights did I gain?
🔗 Is there anything I’d like to build on or continue?

Taking a few moments to reflect can set the stage for growth. 🌱

How do you prep for your sessions?”

If you are feeling anxious as a new therapist, this blog is for you!

You might have had an idea of what you thought a therapist should be like. Maybe this was based on expectations from grad school or what you have seen on TV. You might have thought you needed to be this ‘polished’ person that had all the answers. This can keep you stuck in your head thinking about what you are going to say or ask your client next rather than really listening to what the client is saying. This might have even lead to going into each day with increased anxiety or maybe even dread.

You’re not alone; this was my experience and it kept me from being able to be my authentic self “in the room.”

In this 2 part blog series, I will share some things I wish I knew as a beginning counselor that will help you find your voice and confidence in the therapeutic space.
