What even is therapy?
Therapy is a type of relationship that facilitates healing, change, and growth. Many people come to therapy wanting to know what they need to know and what they need to do. Unfortunately, if simply knowing what to do were enough, the self-help section of the bookstore would have put the mental healthcare field out of business years ago. Research has consistently demonstrated what seasoned practitioners have known for decades: it’s the relationship that makes therapy work (or not!).
Within that, it can be helpful to know what tools are at hand within the relationship and where else to find helpful Information. So, here’s a bit more Information on my approach and resources I’m learning from or find helpful.
