The information provided on this website is for educational and informational purposes only and should not be considered as professional psychological or medical advice. While therapy can be a helpful process for many individuals, and Dr. Bradshaw certainly has helped many individuals over the years reach their goals and enhance their lives (and has been helped considerably by his own work with therapists), there is no guarantee of specific outcomes, and results will vary from person to person.

The therapeutic process is deeply personal and depends on many factors, including the nature of the issues being addressed, the client's engagement in the process, and other external factors. As such, therapists cannot (and Dr. Bradshaw and Fully Human Psychology does not) promise or predict the speed at which progress or specific goals will be achieved. Each client's journey is unique, and therapy may take more or less time than anticipated.

Some individuals may notice decreases in negative symptoms quickly and yet find that other goals take longer than they anticipated and yet may find themselves enjoying working toward these longer-term goals. Others may notice that symptoms temporarily increase, and yet they feel more capable of working with them at the same time and safer working with them. The possibilities are many.  This website represents some of the general aims, philosophy, research, theory, and potentialities of psychotherapy and of these approaches to therapy--but does not guarantee specific outcomes within specific timeframes. Dr. Bradshaw includes them here because part of success in therapy is generating and accessing our meaning and hope, and because he has seen many of these potentialities become a reality for himself and others through therapy and other means--especially when we can trust the process, work hard, practice self-compassion and patience, and challenge ourselves in a supportive environment.

Please consult directly with your therapist or a licensed mental health professional for advice tailored to your individual situation.
