CAUSE.AND.INFECTION
Therapy4/10/2020 There are a few things I wish my parents and I had known before I was put in therapy at the age of 17. Therapy is a very abstract, broad term. There is physical therapy, electroshock therapy, gene therapy, and these are all very different than when someone usually says therapy. The general use therapy usually refers to psychotherapy, mental health stuff. There are actually different kinds of psychotherapy and some are meant to treat specific things.
Imma break down my understanding of the different ways people can have therapy. So for starters people. You can have individual, dyadic, couples, family, and group. Dyadic is like when a child sees a therapist and the child had individual sessions, the mom has individual sessions, and then they have sessions together too. Then you can have different evidence based practices kind of treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing(EMDR), etc. There is science and they usually target specific diagnosis. Such as EMDR treats PTSD by helping to rewire the brain. There are different treatment theories that all LMFTs are trained in, but I find that as they are humans they stick to what they know. They generally use certain theories they identify with with their clients. Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral, Narrative, Systemic, Structural, Experiential, Bowen/Multigenerational Trauma, Object Relational. Licensed Clinical Social Workers are currently being trained to use the Bio-Psychi-Social model. Lastly there are other modalities such as sand tray, art therapy, play therapy, music therapy, expressive arts therapy, etc. 🦑Reminder that these are my perspectives and opinions and I think that researching these things to create your own opinions and perspectives is importante 🦑 https://positivepsychology.com/evidence-based-therapy/ https://www.emdr.com/
