Many people complain after several months of therapy that nothing has changed or that the problems still exist and have only slightly gotten better. Why is that? In this episode, we discuss the change process which many misunderstand. It takes longer and can be much more difficult than you expect it, and you are your own worst enemy so facing resistance or blindspots in yourself is a major challenge to overcome.

When you come to therapy, it's important that you talk about yourself! You can mention the other people in your life and give context, of course, but therapy is about YOU so we need to focus on you. Becoming healthier from therapy requires you to develop an internal (versus external) locus of control, which means operating from your own sense of self. This means that therapy sessions ARE all about you!

Sometimes you start talking about things in therapy that aren't what you came in for. Why is that? You might think you have a complete picture of your issue, but as you present it to a professional, they see things you didn't or couldn't and start asking questions you might not have thought to ask before. It's okay to ask why you're talking about it, but try to be open and see how it relates.

This is for clients and therapists. When a client suddenly stops coming to therapy without an explanation, how should you feel? Why does that happen? What can you do about it? If you're a client, this will help you better understand the humanity of your therapist.

What do you do when you've talked about all the things you came to therapy to talk about? A lot of people either get stuck here or believe this means they're done with therapy. However, this is where things shift from the content (what you're talking about) to the process (who you are and how you do things) of therapy, and the juncture where real change begins.

It's a difficult transition for parents when children become adults. They want more independence and autonomy, but they still need you for some things yet may not have maturity or awareness to acknowledge that. You, as a parent, must adjust in how you relate to your now-adult child that is different from when they were younger. Listen to the previous episode (#101) for the adult children, then listen to this one so you know all the shifts that need to be made!

When you're a teenager and become an independent adult, your relationship with your parents changes... or at least it should. In this first of two episodes, we talk to adult children about why and how to make that adjustment from a childlike relationship to a more peer-to-peer adult relationship. We'll talk to parents about this shift in the following episode.

When you're in conflict with someone and trying to communicate through it, sometimes you can slip into a right/wrong mentality and end up defending yourself but losing the other person as a result. Communication in conflict is not about winning or being right, but about being heard, understood, and connected. In this episode, we talk about some of these dynamics and give you tips to help you achieve these goals.
