Benefits OF PSYCHOTHERAPY
People who have had psychotherapy often feel that it has helped them to clarify a particular issue, open up a deeper level of meaning in their lives; or understand who they are in terms of their family history. As well as providing a significant reduction in the symptoms that brought them into therapy in the first place.
Psychotherapy can help with a range of issues including:
Bereavement
Addiction
Depression
Anxiety
Lack of meaning in one's life
Breakdown of a relationship
Childhood abuse and neglect
Insomnia
Longer term mental health conditions
However, psychotherapy on its own is not a miracle cure. The therapeutic process may ask some difficult questions, leading to important though painful life changes for someone pursuing it.
