What Are The Benefits of Psychotherapy?
One person helping the other in time of need is an age-old tradition. People have been needing the helpers in a myriad of situations. From repair work to curing illness, helpers have been helping mankind since long ago. The mental health helper was like an individual particularly blessed or gifted in his or her ability to assist others through trying times. People with mental illness also need someone that can help them to get back to a healthy and fulfilling life. In the era of COVID19, helpers are needed more than ever.
Psychotherapy (often simply called therapy) is used for treating many different issues and problems like emotional crises, depression, anxiety, family disputes, marital problems etc. The types of psychotherapy include cognitive therapy, behavior therapy, family therapy, interpersonal therapy, and others. Therapy can be short-term or long-term, depending on the presenting issues.
Psychotherapy is performed either in a group or for individuals. In both the cases, it is usually of tremendous benefit. Here at Maesk Counseling, we do both. Here are some benefits of psychotherapy:
