How can therapy help you?
In: Other
therapy is not some magic procedure. in the end therapy allows you to help yourself. the first step is allowing help.
I’m assuming you’re specifically talking about psychological intervention. There are many different forms of therapy. The most common one is CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) where the goal is to actually change the way that you think and act. For instance, if you have a phobia of dogs, CBT can be used to train yourself to calm down when near them. It can teach you how to cope with stress, depression, and methods to do so. Talk therapy helps by allowing you to verbalize what’s going on. This can not only force you into introspection, but a therapist can help you recognize patterns in your thinking and behavior and how you can use those to your advantage in a multitude of situations. CBT typically is lumped with talk therapy, however there are many other forms of therapy out there that work differently for different people!
