Started therapy and not sure if it's helping

Been going for about 3 weeks now and honestly I'm not seeing much change yet. My therapist seems good and I like her but I don't know what I'm even supposed to be feeling or looking for. How long before therapy actually makes a difference? I'm dealing with pretty bad anxiety about work and home stuff and it's exhausting. Just want to feel normal again.

Three weeks is still really early. I was in the same boat feeling like nothing was happening. Stick with it for at least a couple more months before deciding. Therapy is weird because the shifts are usually subtle at first.

If your therapist seems good though that's half the battle. Some people need to switch therapists before finding the right fit. But if the connection is there just be patient with the process.

Give it more time. Honestly after about 6-8 weeks is when I started noticing actual patterns and shifts in how I was handling stress with the kids. The first month is just getting comfortable.

Keep going. I almost quit at week four and I'm so glad I didn't.
