Episode 1: What to Expect in Therapy (and What is My Therapist Doing?!)

Ben Friday

Welcome to the first episode of "Inside Look." This episode begins with a warm welcome and what to expect from this brand new podcast, focused on helping people understand more about the therapy process and attempting to de-stigmatize mental health in general through understanding.

This episode looks at a snapshot of what a first therapy session might look like. Then we discuss an overview of what to expect for the main phases of early, middle, and end stage therapy. We also talk about the importance of finding a good fit, and how therapist shopping can sometimes be worth the extra effort in the long run.

The goal with this episode is to give an overview of what to expect for those who have never been in counseling before, as well as more insight into a map of the therapy process for people who have been in therapy for a while.
