What is psychotherapy?
It may be that, despite the fact that you are considering looking for a psychologist in Aranjuez and attending therapy for the first time, you are not even very clear about what psychotherapy is in general, or what psychologists do to help their patients professionally.
If this is your case, stay with these key ideas that will help you understand the characteristics of psychotherapy , whether in the Aranjuez area or in any other region:
1. It’s not just based on words
Psychotherapy is not about talking; if it were so, anyone could declare himself a psychologist. On the contrary, psychotherapy is based on action, and the work of a psychologist is more like that of a coach than that of a lecturer.
2. You need to commit to therapy
Of course, psychologists go to great lengths to encourage patients to commit to advancing therapy, but it is ultimately the patient who decides whether this process of therapeutic improvement should be taken seriously. Trying to deceive the psychologist or deliberately ignore him not only does not bring benefits, but also creates problems, and the first to suffer will be the patient.
3. Has clear goals
Any process of psychotherapy sets out in its first sessions the specific objectives to be achieved, and is not lost in ambiguities.
4. The psychologist is a qualified professional
This is very important: the professional who offers psychotherapy must be a psychologist, which means that he must have a title that accredits him as such. In addition to this, he must be specialized in psychological intervention in patients, and must be registered.
To the classic question “what do you do?” I always answer “basically I am a psychologist”. In fact, my academic training has revolved around the psychology of development, education and community, a field of study influenced my volunteer activities, as well as my first work experiences in personal services.
