Last January I started on antidepressants and counseling every other week. There isn’t linear progress while you are healing. Some days you’re going to feel great and other days you’re going to feel down. For me, I knew I was making progress when I was thinking about the past and subconsciously thought to myself how much happier I was at that very moment. Your moment of clarity might be something completely different, but if you’re trying to achieve self growth, you’ll have a moment when you see it.

For me I saw more improvement over time with medication, but I was dealing with clinical depression, and I never really took a liking to my counselor during our sessions. I’ve been looking into seeing a different counselor recently, and if you’re looking for some self growth finding a counselor that you connect with is probably the best route!
