S14E9 - A Walkabout With Jeremy

Going back to therapy is a courageous and normal part of the self-care journey, signaling strength and self-awareness rather than failure. You should return if you're experiencing old symptoms, a new significant life event, or just want to check in with yourself. To prepare, identify your goals, decide whether to see a previous therapist or find a new one, and prepare talking points to share your current feelings and recent experiences. 

Steps to Take When Returning
1. Reflect on your break and reasons for returning:
Think about what led to your previous hiatus and what you hope to gain from therapy now. 
2. Define your goals:
What do you want to achieve in therapy this time around? Having clear intentions can help the conversation. 
3. Choose your therapist:
Decide whether to contact your previous therapist or seek a new one who is a better fit for your current needs. 
4. Prepare your talking points:
Be ready to share your recent life events, current feelings, and what you hope to focus on in your sessions. 
5. Communicate openly:
Be honest with your therapist about your goals, feelings, and any unresolved issues from the past. 
Important Mindsets
It's not a failure: Therapy is not a one-time fix but an ongoing process. Returning is a sign of strength and self-care. 
Give yourself grace: Be compassionate with yourself for restarting the process. 
Trust your instincts: If you feel you need therapy, trust that intuition as a valid reason to seek support.
