While the overall goal of therapy is the very vague 'to be happier, ' you may not have any idea what that means for you yet.
That's okay.
Your therapist can help you break down your overall goal into smaller, achievable goals.
When you start therapy, your therapist can help you clarify what's not working in your life.
While having a good therapist is important, what you do with the therapist is just as important.
Therapy is not passive.
It requires your active participation, motivation and commitment.

Anger is an emotion that we all experience.
It can be spurred by disappointment, shame, confusion, sadness, and other negative emotions.
The way that we express our anger can take many forms, and it is important for your mental state to effectively manage and release anger.
Some people have a problem expressing their anger which can lead to problems.
Some will react with hostility, rage, violence, or self-destructive behavior.
This puts the person and anyone around them in potential danger.
Releasing anger in this manner can cause you to hurt yourself or others, say or do things that cannot be taken back, or even get you into legal trouble.

Our self esteem has a large impact on how we live our life, our emotional stability, and our overall level of happiness.
Self esteem is how we feel about ourselves, our own personal morale, but it is also affected by how others interact with us, and how we perceive other peoples' feelings about us.
Low self esteem can lead to feelings of worthlessness, make us avoid social situations, and lead to clinical depression.
Self esteem has a general pattern throughout life.
Self esteem is high during childhood, drops during adolescence, rises throughout adulthood, and then drops in old age.
