Trust is the Most Important Thing

More people are realizing how normal and high-functioning it is to seek outside help at various times in our lives. In the beginning, just having someone else who is not emotionally involved in the situation really helps a lot. The most important thing is to find someone you can trust, establish an ongoing relationship with that therapist, even if you just pop in there once a month. The trusting relationship a person develops with their therapist makes more of an impact on the therapeutic outcome than any other factor.
