There are many benefits from psychotherapy. Here is a list of the major ones. - Your perception of yourself in negative terms is reduced. In psychotherapy you can see the best side of yourself. A good psychologist can help you understand that no one is so evil that he or she cannot change. You can learn to let go of past mistakes and move on to the future. - Your feelings of helplessness can be changed into feelings of competence. You can now confront the thoughts that tell you that you are a failure. You can now start to believe of what is good in you-your potential for talent and goodness. - You identify the thoughts and feelings that are really troubling. You know now that there are anxious thoughts that do indeed come to you each day, and there are thoughts (like suicidal ones) that are quite disturbing, and may be necessary to discuss. Knowing what can be really disturbing is a good sign. It can help you process your thoughts better and allow you to stop yourself from panicking because of thoughts of violence and the like. - You unlearn the chronic avoidance of certain thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we have the unhealthy defence mechanism of keeping ourselves feel safe. In such a way, we block certain feelings that we still need to process. Sometimes, we may want to just ignore things. But ignoring is not the best answer in these cases. It can on the other hand, intensify the problem. The fact is we need to face our problems. Maybe, not instantly, but hopefully, slowly and step by step we can confront our problems head on. - You learn to live with your memories. The memories can be used as sources of information. The information is now about learning from the past and not about running from it. - You can feel safe within the psychotherapeutic setting assuming you have a good therapist. Sometimes, we feel that the danger is within us. In the therapy session, there is a feeling of safety and containment. So, do not waste your time if you feel the need for psychotherapy. Get help from someone you trust and someone who is competent enough to deal with your problems. Accept the responsibility to work your life through. So choose a good psychotherapist and do the good work of delving into yourself to the best kind of person you can be. Irsan's passion is to write on wide varieties of subjects.
