Time to invest in yourself, you deserve it. More about Psychotherapy and how it works is outlined below:
Psychotherapy involves the application of scientifically validated procedures to help people develop healthier, more effective habits. Psychotherapy is a collaborative treatment based on the relationship between client(s) and their psychologist. Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows clients to talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental. The client and psychologist work collaboratively to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping clients from feeling their best.
Research shows that most people who receive psychotherapy experience symptom relief and are better able to function in their lives. According to the American Psychological Association, about 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit from it. Psychotherapy has been shown to improve emotions and behaviours and to be linked with positive changes in the brain and body. The benefits also include fewer sick days, less disability, fewer medical problems, and increased work satisfaction.
With the use of brain imaging techniques researchers have been able to see changes in the brain after a person has undergone psychotherapy. Numerous studies have identified brain changes in people with mental illness (including depression, panic disorder, PTSD and other conditions) as a result of undergoing psychotherapy. According to Karlsson, 2011, in most cases the brain changes resulting from psychotherapy were similar to changes resulting from medication.
By the time therapy is completed, clients will not only have solved the problem that brought them in, but will have learned new skills so they can better cope with whatever challenges arise in the future.
To help get the most out of psychotherapy, approach the therapy as a collaborative effort, be open and honest, and follow your agreed upon plan for treatment. Follow through with any assignments between sessions, such as writing in a journal or practicing what you’ve talked about.
