If you are with the right therapist, you should leave the session feeling more comfortable and confident in yourself and your abilities, along with uplifted and optimistic feelings about your future as therapy progresses. Your therapist should convey warmth and a genuine interest in your concerns. You should expect the therapist to give you honest feedback in a way that does not demean you, and shows you the respect that you deserve. The therapist may challenge your beliefs at times, but should do so in a way that does not make you feel less than. Most importantly, life should become less stressful, and you should feel more vibrant as therapy progresses. A good therapist will teach you skills, and give you information, that you can make use of on your own outside of therapy sessions.
