The Purpose of Psychotherapy

Written By Seth Houdeshell

 There are as many reasons to seek therapy as there are people in the world, so this list is just a small snapshot of some of the basic benefits:

  • Increasing self-awareness through exploration of difficult questions

  • Opening up new perspectives

  • Examining and facing fears

  • Exploring past successes and failures to inform current and future decisions

  • Learning new behavioral tools and new ways of thinking to help you live the life you want

  • Accountability for congruency between your beliefs, words, and actions

  • Understanding relationship dynamics that may be affecting you consciously or unconsciously and afffecting your happiness
