Research participant call out: Clients' experiences of courage in therapy

Research Title: A phenomenological investigation into the experience of courage for clients in psychological therapy/psychotherapy.

Do you identify as someone who experienced your own courage while you were in psychotherapy?

As you reflect on this question, you may also wish to consider the below:

• What was it like making the decision to start therapy?
• What was it like attending therapy and speaking to your therapist about your life experiences, thoughts and feelings?
• Was it challenging and/or enlightening when your shared certain things about yourself in therapy?

​I am conducting a piece of research about clients’ experiences of their own courage in psychotherapy. If the above resonates with you, I would love to hear from you. 

Criteria to be included in the research:

• You feel that you experienced your courage within personal psychotherapy.
• You have completed psychotherapy at this stage, though no more than six months ago.
• You participated in at least 12 sessions of psychotherapy. 
• You attended psychotherapy with an integrative therapist on a weekly basis.

Participating in this research will give you the opportunity to confidentially reflect on your experiences in therapy. Your participation will also greatly contribute understanding clients’ experiences of therapy, and the broader field of psychotherapy.
