How is “talking” helpful?
(top of page) For clients, talking can be helpful because it gives them an opportunity to talk about things in a safe environment. They can voice issues and concerns without being judged, “get things off their chest” and vent. This oftentimes brings clients some relief because the things they want to discuss may be issues the client could not talk to anyone else about. Therapists are trained to understand what you say and will rarely voice their own opinions or tell you what to do. The therapist has learned about and treated people with similar problems before, so they can better comprehend your particular circumstances.
