E014 Thinking About Psychotherapy

First 100 Words
Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental and emotional disorders using psychological techniques through the establishment of a psycho-therapeutic relationship with a mental health professional. Mental disorders may include severe and recurrent psychological conditions or less severe and short-term emotional problems and disturbances that interfere with your life. Psychotherapy is both an art and a science, and has been scientifically studied. Studies show most people report success in making the changes they want with psychotherapy.

Psychotherapy works through the establishment of a relaxed, comfortable, trusting, respectful, psychologically safe, and therapeutic relationship with a mental health professional—a psychotherapist. This relationship becomes a “tool” to help you reduce anxiety and fear so you can successfully examine and confront issues and problems that interfere with your life and your happiness. . .
