Their internalized sense of shame or inadequacy that society tends to ascribe to those in need of treatment. Related to this is the mistaken notion that being in therapy is a sign of failure, whereas in reality seeking it is the first step in succeeding in achieving happiness and life satisfaction.

I believe, experience, and know that everybody wants to move ahead in their life, in whatever way they define this. We are progressive beings. Life may be seen as a series of challenges and tests, different for every person. We obviously prefer not to experience the difficult ones, but fate hands us what will help us to move ahead if we can meet these challenges. If we cannot do this alone, then that is where working with a competent therapist comes in.

The end goal of successfully completed therapy is for the client to become their own therapist, to have internalized the work done and do it on themselves in a loving manner. There are many signs of progress, some of them being feeling less burdened, more able to deal with their problems, more able to recapture and maintain a calmer mood, feeling happier and more satisfied, among others.
