1 As much as we love therapy, it is important to note that therapy can be exhausting sometimes and we can often feel stuck in therapy.

2 A few months/years into therapy, we sometimes might reach a point where it feels like no growth is happening in the sessions. It starts to feel stagnant.

3 This feeling of saturation can even make us think that therapy is pointless because there is no new thing that we are learning or unpacking. We might even feel like giving up on therapy in such times.

4 While seeking or not seeking therapy is a personal decision that varies as per everyone's circumstances, it is important to convey these thoughts to the therapist. Expressing the feeling of stagnation in therapy to our therapist is a good idea.

5 No, it will not make the therapist feel awkward or as if you are not putting in enough efforts. Remember, our therapist is not our examiner. Therapy is not an exam where if we feel stuck, it automatically means we are failing.

6 It is helpful to put our thoughts and feelings into words and tell them to our therapist. Because as much as we'd like, even our therapist can't read our mind.

7 Think of therapy as a collaborative process. The therapist is there to support you in making sense of those and provide you with the necessary tools to simply understand yourself.

8 You need not be a passive recipient in therapy. Talk to your therapist like a collaborator. Remember, it is your life that you are talking about!

Remember - Therapy can be challenging, but the rewards are worth it. Keep pushing forward, and you'll see positive changes in your life.
