Self Discovery & Goal Setting

Although this part is inherent of psychotherapy it is more common to connect psychotherapy with problem solving.

Despite that idea, therapy is actually discovery and rearrangement enhanced with new skills.

Imagine that you are entering an old storage where you kept putting things for a long time. In therapy it's like having someone with you with a torch, shedding light on each of those things and helping you think on what to do with each one of them. After things are sorted, you have a new, arranged storage and you can decide how it can serve a better purpose from now on.

Any Mental Health OR Mood Disorder

If you believe that you have any mental health disorder or you have had a diagnosis, it is of great importance to start therapy.

You might be in medication, but with therapy you don't just try to feel better, you work on the issues and dysfunctional patterns which are contributing to the severity and of a mental health disorder.

Therapy helps to practically adjust your reality to your needs and provides support to broaden your options.

Mental health disorders lead to a very specific and narrow lifestyle that most of the times does not really serve the individual's needs. Thus the person stays in confinement, deprivation, with many negative feelings that have no way to be expressed and valued. This is the part that medication, however effective, cannot help.

Most importantly therapy helps to change the sense of self, from defective to able for a good and satisfying living.

A part of ourself is created, with several technics made for us to endure. The problem is that even when this situation has passed we are thinking and feeling, we are acting and reacting with the technics that we have built to endure trauma. That is a problem because we can't live and enjoy life as we are living in fear. and because we can't seperate the safety from the danger as everything feels like danger. On the top of that danger is kind of familiar, thus, attracting, even if we are trying really hard to avoid it. Trauma in therapy becomes revealed in a safe environment that allows healing.
