The Hardest Part of Therapy: Why Starting Feels So Difficult – a 1½-minute video with Mary Beth Luedtke
What People Think Is the Hardest Part of Therapy
Difficult Conversations
Facing Emotions
Another common fear is that therapy will force you to feel things you can’t handle. In truth, emotions can be painful, but they are also understandable and purposeful when explored with your therapist.
Being Vulnerable
Vulnerability may feel risky, but it is also the gateway to connection and growth. At BEing There, we meet every client with our own safety and vulnerability, because these are the foundations of a healthy relationship. You are not doing this alone. We are right there with you, so you can feel supported and grounded while exploring new levels of vulnerability.
The reality is that the hardest part of therapy is often just getting started. Making the decision to show up, to pause your busy life, and to face what you have been pushing aside is where the real courage lies. Once you begin, therapy stops feeling like a burden and starts becoming a path to freedom.
