Episode 39: How to Know When You are Done with Therapy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a nutshell, knowing when to end the therapeutic experience involves collaboration between the client and therapist. Many times clients know when they have achieved their goals, solved ongoing conflict, or figured out how to get unstuck and these are times when therapists have the privilege of supporting the client’s intuitive knowing that their time in therapy has ended. Other times clients are reluctant to end treatment, for many reasons, often involving fear of being on their own, losing their spot with the therapist’s schedule in case more issues pop up, etc. Matt and Sarah explore a variety of options for helping a client ready themselves for the transition out of therapy and why the collaboration and connection between therapist and client is such a vital part of the process.
