How is psychotherapy different from asking advice from a priest, a close friend or my family?
Sharing our problems with those that are significant to us can be both a very nurturing experience , but also a source of disappointment. Well-meaning relatives or friends lack the professional training and experience to deal appropriately with some of the issues you may be experiencing. Psychotherapy involves a professional clinician, trained in scientific researched- based theories , treatment models and techniques to treat many mental, emotional, behavioral and relational problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, obsessive problems, self-esteem and adjustment to life changes(i.e., divorce , grief, ) and many other mental health problems.
