10 questions to help you prepare for therapy

If you’re thinking of working with a therapist, it’s a good idea to be clear about what is prompting you, and what you would like to have happen as you prepare for therapy.  A good therapist is sure to ask you what is bringing you and what you want to focus on. Here are some questions to reflect on to help you feel prepared and confident when you are looking for a new therapist:

1.  What brings you to therapy?

2.  Why now?

3.  What are your goals for therapy?

4.  What will be difference once your goals have been met?

5.  How important is this to you? What benefits will it bring?

6.  How will you know when your goals for therapy are met?

7.  What's your understanding of the issues?

8.  How do you think change might occur?

9.  What are you prepared to commit to do differently to meet your goals?

10.  What are you prepared to let go of to move forwards?
