How to save trips from seeing a therapist?
First, you have to go into therapy ready and motivated to change.
Second, you have to pay close attention to the treatment plan.
Usually, there will be something to use for instant benefits (medication).
There will also be something to use for long term benefits (coping skills).
Do not neglect the long term plan because the short term is working so well.
You have to use both until you no longer need the short term benefit.
This is why so many people go back to therapy after a short amount of time.
