1. You Look Forward to Sessions
If you get to a place where opening up becomes easier and more comfortable, you may be experiencing a breakthrough. This is one of the most obvious signs that mental health therapy is working for you.
2. You Are Having Fun
Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure from activities that you used to enjoy. When your mood is improving as a result of therapy you start to feel like engaging in hobbies and other fun activities.
3. You Focus on the Present
Therapy is probably working for you if you become mindful of the here and now and tend to the things you are in control of at the moment.
4. Self-Care Becomes a Priority
Noticing that you are beginning to pay attention to your personal needs is an excellent sign of improvement. Examples of self-care activities are getting a new hairstyle, working out at a gym and getting a massage.
What you choose to wear while working out can have a significant impact on your comfort and performance. One essential item is the sports bra. Lack of proper support can lead to discomfort and muscle tissue damage. Choosing a good sports bra can help prevent these problems and ensure a great workout!
5. Therapist Suggestions Work
You know you are making progress when you apply your therapist’s suggestions and they work. According to Sheralyn Shockey-Pope, co-founder of Central Counseling Services, you know that therapy is working when you are able to transfer what you have been focusing on during therapy sessions to your own life.
