 Hello and welcome back. Today's video is called don't bother going to therapy if and I have four reasons When you shouldn't go to therapy number one Number one is don't bother going to therapy if you love everything about your life And you do not want anything to change if you want the status quo just to carry on Don't bother going to therapy if you go to therapy things will change Engaging with therapy will change the way that your life is going it will change the way you behave and think If that's not something you want don't bother going to therapy number two Don't bother going to therapy if you're not prepared to be open and honest So if you're gonna go along and you are gonna spin your therapist some yarn You are gonna hide stuff You're not gonna open up about the things which are really concerning you You're not gonna tell them the truth about things like you're eating or self-harming behaviors if those are an issue Then you're not gonna get a lot out of the process So be prepared to open up and be honest with your therapist They will keep your confidence unless your life is in danger Number three don't bother going to therapy if you are scared of hard work therapy is tough. Okay, you will work Really hard. It's a big investment of your time sometimes of your money and of your mental and sometimes physical energy You've got to work really really hard You've got to be prepared to really give of yourself in those sessions and sometimes outside of them as well So if you're not someone who's prepared to work hard on this and really invest in your recovery Don't bother going to therapy number four Don't bother going to therapy if you want a quick magic wand fix Not gonna happen. Sadly therapy is something that takes time Making change takes time and hard work and a lot of input from us and from our therapist So yeah, if you want a quick fix you ain't gonna find it. I'm afraid. So there we go four reasons not to go to therapy Obviously, I'm a massive advocate of therapy in the right situations You just need to go into it with the right mindset So if you do want things in your life to change if you think that you're ready to embrace that if you think you're ready to work hard if you are ready to build a good therapeutic alliance with your with your therapist or counselor and you are willing to Enter into a relationship of trust and unconditional care And if you're willing to stick with this for a little while to enable it to actually have an impact Then go along to therapy and you will I hope Like me find it to be one of the best investments that you could ever make Of your time of your money of your effort of your energy So yeah, good luck Okay, I hope you found this helpful Leave comments below if you have any other videos you'd like me to make or feedback about your experiences with therapy If you'd like to give it a thumbs up and if you want to hear my future videos see my future videos, please Subscribe.
