Understanding Therapy's Purpose and Challenges

Therapy provides individuals with a bird's eye view of their lives, helping them recognize patterns influenced by their past experiences. It serves as a tool for making choices and establishing boundaries, and it can often feel uncomfortable as it encourages challenging self-reflection. The process is not merely about talking; it also involves actively engaging with one's life choices and relationships. Therapy helps to break the cycles of self-doubt and loathing, guiding individuals towards healthier self-perceptions and coping mechanisms.
