Therapy (not physical)

Well, I hope you learned something in my last blog. I don't want pity or attention; I want to bring awareness and hope to the issues that are depression and self-harm. In this (second-to-last) post, we're going to be talking about 5 different types of psychotherapies. So let's get started!

Psychodynamic

Psychodynamic
In this behavior, the patient is generally on some sort of couch or in a comfortable position. The therapist is most likely looking at you and watching you while you answer his/her questions. This therapy focuses on childhood memories and unresolved conflicts or experiences occurring during a young age. The therapist tends to guide you to figure out your problem by yourself.





Client-centered

In client-centered therapy, the patient and therapist sit facing each other in chairs at a comfortable distance apart. This is the standard for therapy that I have endured. In this therapy, the therapist will help the patient to overcome barriers or painful problems that are affecting the patient in a negative way. The therapist and the patient tend to have even conversations, not lecture by the therapist and not all talking by the patient.

Behavior

Behavior
In this therapy, the patients are dealing with dysfunctional behavior that they need help terminating. Often in behavior therapy, the patients are of a younger age. They need to relearn important and adaptive behavior. Therapists often use classical or operant conditioning to help their patients learn or relearn positive behaviors.





Cognitive, Cognitive-behavioral
In this type of therapy, the goal is to end any negative or self-destructive thoughts or behaviors. The therapist's goal is to promote healthier lifestyles; hence, no self-destructive talk or behavior.

Group and Family
In this type of therapy, there would be some sort of dysfunction going on that would lead a whole family to go to therapy. The goal is aimed at fixing harmed relationships and healing possible wounds. The therapist helps the whole family to work through their problems and to better understand each other.

And those are the main types (or categories) of modern psychotherapies!
I've got a little more to say to wrap up this whole year so check back next time!!
