As with any treatment, there are some risks as well as many benefits with psychotherapy.
You should think about both the benefits and risks when making any treatment decisions. For example, in psychotherapy, there is a risk clients will have for a time uncomfortable levels of sadness, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration, loneliness, helplessness, or other negative feelings. Clients may recall unpleasant memories. These feelings or memories may bother a client at work or in school. Some people in your community may mistakenly view anyone in psychotherapy as weak, or perhaps as seriously disturbed.
Also, clients in psychotherapy may have problems with people important to them. Family secrets may be told. Psychotherapy may disrupt a marital relationship and sometimes may even lead to a divorce. Sometimes, a client’s problems may temporarily worsen after the beginning of treatment. Most of these risks are to be expected when people are making any important changes in their lives.
Finally, even with our best efforts, there is a risk that psychotherapy may not work out well for you. Psychotherapy is not an exact science and cannot guarantee specific outcomes. Some benefits that people have found with psychotherapy include improved interpersonal skills, more confidence in their control over stressful life events, and better management of emotions. These benefits can lead to more productivity at work, improved interpersonal relationships and increased self-esteem. Psychotherapy can also help with specific health-related behaviours and reduce stress.
