When Therapy Doesn't Feel Like It's Working

You’ve been showing up. You’ve been doing the work. But things still feel… stuck. If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether therapy is actually helping, this episode is for you.

We unpack the frustration of slow progress, explore the emotional ups and downs of the healing process, and explain why therapy isn’t always a straight line. You’ll learn about the “therapeutic plateau,” how to tell if it’s the right type of therapy for you, and what to do if you don’t feel a connection with your therapist—especially when cultural or environmental factors play a role.

We also introduce a practical tool to help you stay focused in session: writing down your therapy goals and keeping them in sight.
