Yes, It Works!
In November 1995, Consumer Reports conducted a study examining this question. Of the 4,000 therapy clients who responded, nearly 90% reported that they were managing life better after going through therapy. Those who reported the most discomfort and upset at the beginning of treatment reported the most improvement from psychotherapy. Some of those surveyed were treated through both psychotherapy and medications such as antidepressants, etc., while others were treated through "talk" therapy alone.
Clients who were actively engaged in the process had better results than those who were passive.
Also, this study found that therapy that lasted more than six months was significantly more effective than shorter-term therapies.
And lastly, clients whose treatments were limited by insurance company policies had worse outcomes than those who did not have such limitations.
How about you? Is it time to see if therapy can help you find relief from pain and suffering, develop more satisfying relationships, improve the quality of your life and your capacity to contribute to society.
You are worth the investment.
