Does self-therapy work or not? Discussion publication on the topic of self-development.
Self-therapy exists as a form of therapy. But not apart from the therapy itself.
So self-therapy won't work for me?
Self-therapy in itself does not exist, despite the fact that there are a lot of techniques for self-directed therapeutic work.
- Written and oral practices.
- Empty chair technique.
- Dialogue and monologue techniques.
- Therapeutic letters and diary forms.
- Self-induced trance and meditation.
- Street experiments in communication.

In TA and Scripting Therapy, to which I am committed in my work, I equip my clients with just such techniques for self-help between sessions.
CONCLUSION: Self-therapy will not work if you are not used systematically and as a substitute for psychotherapy. And this is a very effective tool that perfectly complements and enhances the effectiveness of your work with a psychologist.
And again, again about her, about self-therapy! For the umpteenth time:)
