WHAT IS THERAPY AND DOES IT WORK?
Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between an individual and their psychologist intended to help a person:
• Find relief from emotional distress, as in becoming less anxious, fearful or depressed.
• Seek solutions to problems in their lives, such as dealing with disappointment, grief, family issues, and job or career dissatisfaction.
• Modify ways of thinking and acting that are preventing a person from working productively and enjoying personal relationships.
• Seek solutions to problems in their lives, such as dealing with disappointment, grief, family issues, and job or career dissatisfaction.
• Modify ways of thinking and acting that are preventing a person from working productively and enjoying personal relationships.
The right match between the individual and their psychologist is one of the most important elements to a successful therapy experience. One' s willingness to stop and to examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from a different point of view is also essential for change.
Hundreds of studies have found that psychotherapy helps people make positive changes in their lives. Reviews of these studies show that about 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit. Other reviews have found that the average person who engages in psychotherapy is better off by the end of treatment than 80 percent of those who don’t receive treatment at all.

Man can alter his life by altering his thinking.
Authentic happiness derives from raising the bar for yourself, not rating yourself against others.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.
When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves.
I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each patient because each has a unique story.
We can’t change the past, so we change how people are thinking, feeling and behaving today.
A failure is not always a mistake. It may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another.
If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation, but your thoughts about it. Be aware of the thoughts you are thinking.
