Therapy can involve a large commitment of time, money and energy. It is important to select someone you feel comfortable with. There are both risks and benefits to engaging in psychotherapy. Risks sometimes include experiencing uncomfortable feelings such as: sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. Psychotherapy often requires discussing unpleasant aspects of your life. Benefits often include a significant reduction in feelings of distress, an increase in clarity, better relationships and resolutions to specific problems. However, there are no guarantees about what will happen during your course of therapy.
