Success in therapy can mean a lot of different things. In general, goal setting gives us a way to identify what we would like therapy to accomplish and then measure that accomplishment in some way. We set goals, work towards them, and then check in to see if we feel like we are making enough progress towards them. Sometimes goals change throughout therapy, and that is fine too. In a broader sense, people typically want to feel better. That may mean happier, more productive, less anxious, more socially connected, or many other things depending on the person. Success in therapy is sometimes hard to identify in real time, but usually after some invested time, we can look back and see the progress we are making.
