What Can I Expect From Therapy?
Many people approach therapy the way they would any physical treatment, they feel therapy is simply going to cure them completely. That is not the case. It's very important for you to discuss what exactly is the desired result, in other words, set clear goals for your treatment. For example, if you are undergoing depression therapy, you might want to clearly understand exactly what the treatment will do for you.

How Long Will Therapy Last?
• Many people and therapists get into therapy from a sustained long-term perspective. In fact, many people believe therapy will go on for the rest of their life. • Therapy needn't be a never-ending part of your life. But in order to get out of it, it's important for you to set a realistic timeline with your psychologist. • Building on our first point, you again need to define goals that should get achieved within time frames.

Will I Need Medication?
• The need for medication may not be in the picture when you first approach the issue. However, very often therapists do suggest medicinal intervention to support their therapy efforts. • It's always a good idea to bring this up with your therapist right at the outset and discuss any possible reservations or doubts you might have. • Very often, patients themselves prefer opting for medicines to deal with their issues. Again, it's important to discuss this with your therapist and determine your options.

How Expensive Will It Be?
• Let's fact it, whether you are going in for couples therapy in Mumbai or an individual session, therapy can take a severe toll on your finances if your medical plan does not cover it. • Discussing this issue with your therapist right from the outset will help you determine a course of action that works well for the both of you. • Many therapists are flexible enough to offer you a treatment plan that can accommodate your means without compromising on care.

What Is Expected From Me?
A therapist is not a magician who'll work his magic and miraculously cure you. It is a two way street that requires dedicated involvement from your end. Discuss with your counselor or therapist about what they expect from you beyond the therapy sessions. This will help you actively work on your problems and gain better insights into your treatment process.
