Many things can impact the degree to which you find your experience of therapy meaningful or less meaningful, for example, finding the right therapist for you, the type of therapy and the timing of therapy.
A meaningful therapy experience requires the client to be motivated to be in therapy. Some topics may feel difficult to discuss and it is critical the therapy moves at a pace that feels right for the client.
However, a willingness to engage with the therapist and the therapeutic process is a fundamental component for a positive, effective therapy experience.
And of course, your therapy experience is unique to you.
