Potential Risks of Therapy
Change can be Terrifying
Even if change is wanted, it can be a scary process to try something new or unknown. There is no guarantee it will be the outcome you want, but it may be exactly what you need. Both the journey and the destination are important aspects of growth.
It can Stir up Difficult or Intense Feelings
It is hard to look in the mirror and really see the reflection. We all have ways to handle being uncomfortable. Some of our tools only provide temporary relief and some put us in dangerous situations.
Our ultimate goal is your safety, and we will talk about and find a pacing that works for you.
It May Get Worse Before it Gets Better
