During the first session, you and the therapist will collaboratively attempt to make sense of:
- what problem – what brought you to therapy,
- why now – what precipitated the current situation,
- which experiences, personal traits and social environment contributed to the current situation, and
- why change – your therapy goals (expressed in terms of things you want to do more of).
Out of that process will fall an evidence-based way of working together. The immediate impact will be using the active ingredients of that therapy in the therapy session and (very importantly) putting the new skills and approach into practice in your day-to-day life.
