Katerina Kelly has been in therapy since childhood due to autism, finding initial success. However, in college, they began to feel unfulfilled with counseling, experiencing feelings of numbness or worsened emotions. The techniques learned in youth seemed ineffective in adulthood, leading to a therapy rut. Experts suggest that clients identify these ruts and explore strategies to reinvigorate their mental health journey, reminding that feeling stuck doesn't mean therapy isn't beneficial. It indicates a need to assess the therapeutic fit or method, and it can be addressed by seeking different perspectives or approaches.
"The skills that Mx. Kelly's therapist had taught her in childhood weren't translating as well now that she was older."
"A therapy rut can feel disheartening, but it doesn't have to end your pursuit of better mental health."
"If you've hit a rut, you may feel as if your therapy sessions have stalled or become unhelpful."
