Psychotherapy
The word 'therapy' is derived from the Greek word therapeia meaning 'healing'. Literally psychotherapy means healing the mind or the soul. Nowadays we usually use the term to mean: - the application of psychological techniques to the treatment of disorders that are psychological in origin.
A key to understanding mental health is the notion that our brains function as profoundly complex metaphorical pattern-making organs. The majority of problems are embedded in habits of reaction and response.
Psychotherapy relieves distress and suffering by interrupting destructive patterns of thought and behaviour and creating a new positive achievable focus on the future.
