Have an agreed goal with your therapist, an end goal that you are both working towards Any therapist should give you the time to ask questions and answers may change the treatment plan Whatever the treatment the therapist should be able to tell you the reasons why they are doing it The opportunity to speak and talk is vital A therapist must listen carefully to what you are saying and actively focus on what you, the patient, are saying Building rapport and a relationship between the patient and the therapist is vital There needs to be an active component  to any care along with the passive care The active care is the things you can do yourself; the passive care is what is done to you.
