Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is commonly referred to as “talk therapy”. It may conjure the image of an individual laying on a couch venting their problems while a psychiatrist sits with a stern face taking notes.
Don’t let the stereotype fool you. Psychotherapy is actually an active therapeutic relationship between you and your counselor. It’s dynamic conversations using evidenced-based practices that can help you take control of your emotional and psychological struggles.
How Does Psychotherapy Work?
Ever try to talk about your problems with a friend or loved one? While they probably mean well, they may be interjecting their beliefs and attitudes to get you to act how they believe you should act. They may not even know it--they just want to do whatever they can to “fix” your situation.
Psychotherapy is different from venting to a friend. A counselor or psychologist has specific training on being objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. In fact, instead of being lectured, you and your counselor work together to identify and shift the thought and behavior problems causing you distress.
During psychotherapy sessions, you get a chance to talk, troubleshoot, role-play, build coping skills, and create goals and objectives for living a happier, healthier, more productive life.
Who Benefits from Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy can help just about anyone. Research has found it is effective in treating mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, addiction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and personality disorders.
But you don’t need to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder to benefit from psychotherapy. In fact, psychotherapy can help you:
Build better communication skills
Be more assertive
Improve relationships
Address grief
Cope with life changes
Manage stress
Live more mindful
Identify areas of your life you want to improve
Achieve personal goals
And MORE!
If you need a little extra support getting from point A to point B in your life, consider the benefits of psychotherapy.
