What is Therapy?

What Is Therapy All About?

From a historical perspective, the field of psychotherapy is just beginning to get out of the dark ages.  There have been some notable figureheads during this time, but things are still very new.  Because of this, there are a variety of opinions on the subject, with lots of room still left to carve out.

What Is The Purpose Of Therapy?

One thing’s for sure, everyone that has become part of the field has the same idea and goal in mind, to help people heal.  In the most simple form, this is the purpose of psychotherapy, to assist someone in getting to a place of joy and contentment in life. 

We All Have Needs

The way that healing happens is unique to every individual.  First and foremost, it takes having an awareness of needs and an ability to respond to them.  Each person has their own set of things that they need in life.  However, there are some needs that are universal, such as a need for connection.

Healing Through Connection

Healing takes place through meeting this need.  Without connection none of this is possible.  With it, everything is.  Through connection there are no limits to what is possible.  The stories we have told ourselves, even the ones that have felt impossible to bear are able to change with the right support.

It’s Okay To Ask For Help

Getting the right support at the right time is critical for speedy recovery.  We all go to the doctor to fix a broken arm, where do we go to fix a broken soul?  How do we mend our wounds that are much less visible?  Who can we turn to when the damage is prevalent yet hard to define?  The answer lies in therapy.  It’s OK to ask for help, it’s OK to reach out for support.  It’s OK to not know what that means or looks like right now.  That’s what we’re here for, too.  Reach out today and schedule a free therapy consultation to see how we can work together to meet your needs and heal your wounds.
