Risks and Benefits of Therapy. Psychotherapy is a process in which Therapist and Patient discuss a myriad of issues, experiences and memories for the purpose of cre- ating positive change so Patient can experience life more fully. It provides an oppor- tunity to better and more deeply understand oneself and any difficulties one may be experiencing. Psychotherapy is a joint effort between Patient and Therapist. Prog- ress and success may vary depending upon the particular issues being addressed, as well as many other factors. Therapy may result in a number of benefits to Patient, including but not limited to less stress/anxiety, fewer negative thoughts/behaviors, better relationships, more comfort in social/work/family settings, and more self-confidence. Such benefits may require substantial effort by Patient, including active participation in therapy, hon- esty, and openness to change feelings/thoughts/behaviors. There is no guarantee therapy will yield any or all of the benefits above. It may involve some discomfort, including recalling and discussing unpleasant feelings/experiences, and may evoke strong feelings of sadness, anger, fear, etc. At times Therapist may challenge Pa- tient’s perceptions and offer different perspectives. Issues Patient presents may re- xxxx in unintended outcomes, such as relationship change. Any decision as to his/her personal relationships is Patient’s responsibility. During the therapy process, many find that they feel worse before they feel better; this is normal. Patient should dis- cuss any concerns with Therapist.
