I admit it. I’m goal oriented and I believe therapy should be goal oriented too. This isn’t to say that other perspectives aren’t valid—but my belief is that if you are spending your time and money on therapy, you and your therapist should be able to accomplish three basic therapy objectives:
1. Define what problems and issues you are facing and want/choose to work on
2. Decide what specific goals and objectives (related to these issues), will be set
3. Assess whether or not you are achieving these goals at a reasonable rate of progress
