How can commitment be more important than the first step—which is seeking therapy or the last step of completing goals and graduating from therapy? Commitment to therapy is an investment in your future much like a savings account or a life insurance policy, but instead of monetary gain, you derive hope, motivation, resilience, vision, security, safety, peace, clarity, and acceptance.
To be invested in therapy, means that you are taking ownership of the process.
To be invested in therapy, means that you are taking ownership of the process. By taking ownership, you take on the role of “owner”. Just like the role of an “owner” in a business—you are there when it opens and when it closes, you are the handyman, the fixer upper, the tally keeper, the leader, the marketer, the one who gets the credit.
So what does it mean to be there when it opens and when it closes? This means that you are emotionally present from beginning to the end. You are arrive at your scheduled appointments when they are scheduled. You are engaged in the session and use your counseling time wisely. You end your session with a sense of completion knowing that tomorrow will bring yet more work to do.
