What is my role as a client in order to get the most out of my sessions?

Clients who derive the greatest benefit from therapy or life-coaching are generally those individuals who are motivated to change and accept that they are primarily responsible for the changes and growth that they desire.
– Clients who are willing to establish a trusting relationship with the therapist or life-coach.
– Clients who are open to learning.
– Clients who come consistently to their sessions, are ready to bring up important topics, actively listen and participate.
– Engage in tasks given by the therapist or life-coach to complete in between sessions, and try out new thoughts and behaviors that arise during sessions.
– Are willing to take the risks and face the uneasiness that accompanies change, which includes confronting long-term inner fears, conflicts and aspects of life that feel difficult to overcome.
– Recognize the difference between what they are responsible for and can change, and those situations that are beyond their control.
