Consider your millennial girl-next-door. She meets the man of her dreams and on the fifth date, she comes home with starry eyes and is convinced that he is in love with her. Would you agree with her? Would you think she is falling for the same old pattern and is unable to see it? The shunning truth might be that love doesn't really happen overnight. At best, what you experience towards someone in the early days of your budding relationship, is an intention to love and to commit to someone. What we derive from this example, is that the truth, for some people, could be in plain sight and very obvious to understand, while for some others, it could be camouflaged among alternate realities, or even distorted. A therapist’s job primarily involves helping you sort those realities and helping you to look at your own life and choices through a different light. The therapist will help you navigate your life, identify patterns and speak openly about yourself. Their job is to listen with an open mind, steer the topics that are important to you, and ensure confidentiality in all that is shared. With many assumptions that are also reached in the process, let’s take a look at a few concepts and myths around therapy and see how a better understanding can help us develop a better approach to the process.
