How
therapy can help you
Therapy, is there to help you take the
necessary steps to help better manage your mental illness. So that there is no
confusion there are different types of therapy options out there.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, works well to help you learn how to take
healthier actions in your life. Interpersonal therapy, helps you learn how to
better express your emotions in a healthier way. Family therapy, is there to
help families become a better family unit. Psychodynamic Therapy, provides you information
on how you can better understand your unconscious mind. Art therapy, uses forms
of art to help you express your emotions and this also helps promote the
process of healing. Psychoeducation, helps educate you on your mental illness. Each
method is specifically design to help you manage your mental illness.
Money, is also of importance. If
you are insured call your insurance company and they should provide you with
the best matches for your insurance. Being uninsured doesn’t disqualify you
from finding a therapist. My best advice, is to use a search engine to find
free therapy sessions. Don’t forget there is also free group sessions that can
also help you manage your mental illness, and personally speaking, sometimes these
programs are just sufficient as a therapist.
Trust is also key. You should be able
to feel comfortable with your therapist. Remember that your therapist is there
for you and not the other way around. You should be able to open to them, if
not moving on to find someone that works for you is completely fine. I personally
can admit that sometimes you will get therapist that are not bad at their jobs,
but they are just not the right fit for you.
Hopefully this blog gives you some
insight if you’re considering therapy. If you have any questions or comments,
good or bad, don’t forget to leave them below. Remember that we are on this
healing journey together.
