Therapy begins with discomfort as it requires confronting feelings we have long avoided. Over time, however, it fosters acceptance, allowing us to express and process those emotions.
Just as exposure therapy teaches clients that facing their fears can be manageable, talk therapy helps individuals recognize that their feelings are not to be feared, promoting emotional acceptance.
The initial struggle in therapy stems from the necessity of engaging with painful emotions. Yet, enduring this challenge ultimately transforms our relationship with those feelings, reducing the tendency towards fear and avoidance.
As clients unfold their stories within the safe space of therapy, they often find relief in expressing their emotions, leading to a gradual desensitization to discomfort in recognizing and acknowledging their feelings.
