What goes on in a psychotherapy session?
It depends! For most adults, sessions involve talking. For children and adolescents, sessions may involve play and/or games. In Dr. Sheppard’s approach, clients are encouraged to enter into a trusting relationship with the therapist. Sometimes clients come to sessions with an agenda or something they want to talk about. Other times, people come in with an emotion, a thought, a story, or a success. Each session progresses based upon what the clients needs are at that time. Dr. Sheppard believes strongly that the collaboration between therapist and client brings the relevant material out.
