Started therapy and not sure if it's helping

8h ago·1 min read

Been going to therapy for like two months now for anxiety and depression. My therapist seems nice enough but I don't feel like we're really connecting. I keep telling myself to give it more time but part of me wonders if I'm just wasting money. How many sessions did it take before you felt like therapy was actually working? Should I switch therapists or am I just being impatient? Also does anyone else feel weird talking about their feelings to a stranger?

Therapy works but it's not like instant medicine. I'm at 3 months now and starting to see real shifts in how I handle anxiety. Stick with it.

Therapy's tough because you're basically asking a stranger to help you with your deepest stuff. Give it a few more sessions but also trust your gut if it doesn't feel right.

Two months is still pretty early to know if it's clicking. I was skeptical at first too, but switching therapists made all the difference for me. Don't settle if the vibe isn't there.

Two months is still pretty early. It took me like 4 months before I really felt things clicking with my therapist. Give it more time. The fact that you're showing up is what matters.

What kind of stuff are you working on in sessions? Sometimes it helps to have specific goals instead of just going in hoping something clicks.
