Psychotherapy is a set of techniques for treating or to help cure a variety of diseases and mental problems. A common feature of all psychotherapy techniques is a person-to-person contact. Psychotherapy is the method of choice for the treatment of neurotic disorders, depression, or anxiety and personality disorders. There are various forms of psychotherapy such as drama therapy, desensitisation, pantomime exercises, working with the body, as well as various currents of psychotherapy, for example: cognitive and behavioural psychotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy or the systemic approach.
Who needs psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a method of treatment through conversation recommended for people who:
-
suffer from mental issues (anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, mood disorders, excessive response to stress),
-
whose body gets sick due to the specific functioning of their psyche (eating disorders, sleep disorders, psychosomatic disorders, sexual dysfunction),
-
and for those whose difficulties are manifested in relationships with people (family problems and in relationships, loneliness, life crises).
Psychotherapy can be helpful also for those who would like to better know and understand themselves.
