Therapy Q&A
How can therapy improve my quality of life?
Therapy, often referred to as “talk therapy,” is a form of treatment that relies on creating a trusting bond with a highly skilled mental health practitioner. It’s not a one-time or stand-alone experience, but a process that develops over time.
As you share the details of your background, current life, and future hopes with our therapists, they will begin to develop a deeper understanding of your psychiatric needs from a holistic perspective.
When you truly commit to therapy and enter into the process with a collaborative manner, therapy can lead to significant improvements in how you feel and function on a daily basis. You can explore ways to better manage stress and find relief from insomnia, anxiety, depression, and more.
When is the right time to seek therapy?
Life is full of ups and downs, and no one is happy all of the time. But for many people, mental, emotional, or behavioral health issues make it difficult to function.
Knowing when to seek help isn’t always easy. Some people are willing to reach out at the first sign of serious distress, while others are socialized to try and “tough it out” on their own.
One way to decide if the time is right to seek treatment is to make an honest appraisal of how your issues are affecting your quality of life. If you are struggling in your professional or personal life or have a persistent experience of sadness or disappointment, it’s well worth taking the time to sit down with a psychiatric professional.
Is there still a stigma associated with therapy?
Not long ago, the pervasive view of psychiatric care in American society was tinged with stigma. People felt as though an inability to “fix” mental health issues on their own was a sign of weakness or a demonstration of some kind of personal defect.
Thankfully, these assumptions are far less common in today’s society. People have come to realize that everyone can benefit from taking a proactive approach to their mental health and wellness. Today, working with a therapist is often viewed as nothing more than another avenue of self-care.
You should never feel bad about looking after your own interests, especially when it comes to mental health. Erin and the team at Revival Psychiatry are available to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out online or by phone to book your personalized visit.
