Working with clients over time, I've started to notice certain areas in which people who are in therapy may not be getting the complete benefit that they could.  As a result, I wrote an article, published on Goodtherapy.org, in which I talk about the five things people can do to get more out of their counseling experience.  These include:

1. Be Authentic 
2. Teach your therapist about yourself
3. You are okay as you are
4. Discuss your beliefs
5. Disagree with your therapist? Speak up
