How to do Online Therapy
ONE. Don't Settle. Help us by getting Good Sleep.
Don't settle; go with your gut when choosing your therapist. Try to get as much sleep and rest beforehand, as emotional work is a different type of work.
TWO. Make sure your space is private. Get ready to answer some tough questions.
Prepare a private space. If some people are unable to find one, they go to their car.
If you share space, some clients put a radio of piano music or spa music in the background.
Prepare for questions like, "What brings you to therapy?" and "Why now?"
THREE. We'll go slow to create a safe space.
For your first session, we want to create a safe, predictable space that you can associate with therapy. It is important to mark what you want to address and to prepare to discuss these topics in the following sessions. The reason for this is to ensure enough time to process these critical areas of work. Also, knowing you will be talking about these important areas will help you start processing them mentally and emotionally.
After your session: if you can try not the schedule anything after your session if possible, or take it easy so you can process your session, emotionally, reflect on what you worked on. This can maximize your therapy benefits.
FOUR. Accountability.
A good therapist will ask you to fill out a session rating scale. This will assist us in better understanding what you liked and disliked. We hope this will allow you a space to vocalize your needs if things come up between sessions, or if you are too shy to mention them during a session. Canada Online Therapy therapist, will ask you, what helped to close each session. As we use talking as our technology, we want to make sure the session is helpful to you, also this isn't to put you on the spot, it's important you put things in your own words so you hear them, that's how things click.
