Self-development
People often seek therapy to solve a particular problem and support their personal growth. Ongoing psychotherapy for self-development can be invaluable. When there is no specific problem, you can be curious about various aspects of your life. You can explore what makes you happy, how to achieve your goals, why you relate to others in specific ways, what you want for the future, and more.

Often, when we work on ourselves, we lack compassion. We set unrealistic goals and beat ourselves up or give up when we don’t meet them. Self-development therapy helps you to be more realistic and compassionate towards your health, supporting you to make sustainable, long-term progress with a focus on your strengths.
How does self-development or personal growth therapy help?
Self-improvement can be a wonderful feeling. It involves learning new behavious, recognizing faults, and dropping bad habits. However, it can also be intimidating, especially with blind spots. Self-development helps you face uncomfortable truths about yourself, which can be scary. But self-development may be perfect if you believe knowing these things is better than leaving them undiscovered.
Some people worry they won't know what to discuss during self-improvement sessions if they don't have a specific problem. However, this is not the case. Your past experiences and everyday life can provide you with plenty to discuss.
