What to do if therapy doesn't feel like it is helping? 

Therapeutic relationships can be challenging. 

Although you want to feel safe enough to begin to engage in therapy, it can take time to build trust and feel at ease with your therapist. Progress also takes time. 

During a session or after a session you may feel a range of emotions, including frustration or upset at times, this is normal. 

But sometimes you might find that, even after trying it for a while, you're unsure how it's going. 

In this case you may want to consider talking to your therapist about any problems you're having with them or the sessions so you can try to work through this together.

If you continue to be unsatisfied with the sessions or your progress consider seeking an alternative therapist or type of therapy to find a better match for you.
