The Use of Email

Risks and Benefits
There are potential risks and benefits to psychological services. Sessions often involve discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, which may lead to you to experience uncomfortable feelings. These services have been shown to have benefit, but there are no guarantees of what you will gain.
