Does psychocherapy work, how and how well? Please give personal examples.?

Question

Please have respect and do not answer unless you really know something about this. I preffer answers from adults (over the age of 26) who have had to deal with a couple of difficulties.

Answer 1

Psychotherapy uses psychological rather than biological approaches to treatment. Psychotherapy involves conversation or verbal interactions; the goal of insight therapies is for clients to gain insight or increased understanding of themselves in order to promote changes in personality and behavior. There are at least 200 different therapies available today.

The guy below me is right, talking to someone you can trust and is able to listen to you is good too. At least it will save you money.
To answer to your question, YES in some cases.
But psychiatric drugs NEVER cure, it just makes things worse!.

Answer 2

I will not go into personal details, but I can tell you that visits to good psychologist will help you.

One thing I will tell you is that sessions with psychologists are not anything like visits to MDs. It will do absolutely NOTHING for you unless you go with an open mind, willingness to share your problems, fully discuss your problem, and WORK ON YOUR PROBLEMS. Unlike MDs, psychologists do not give any medicine or perform anything that, on its own, will heal you.

A therapist will help you solve your own problems by giving the tools to see (for yourself) what is troubling you, and suggest (not even provide) a method you could employ YOURSELF to help YOURSELF.

It is needless to say, a time with your therapist will be the hardest time you'll spend for a while. You will look into your own problems, mistakes, and faults at the deepest level. However, if you are willing and open, it will be the worthwhile time spent.

A difficult part of whole thing is, to find a good therapist. Even more difficult part is, to find a therapist who is compatible with you. As this will be your most private and personal experience with yourself, a guide you'll choose will be important, not only for their skills, but the style and personality. For this, I can only say good luck.

I am not sure if I answered your questions, but if you are considering a visit, and are willing to work at it, I'd highly recommend it.
