Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a process of connecting the various elements of our lives so that they make sense. Many people have unresolved conflicts that they carry around all their lives, which constrict their ability to make healthy decisions. They make the same choices over and over, and don't feel fulfilled. It may even seem as if life is just frustrating, and happens to them, instead of the other way around. It may be difficult to feel fully expressed, or be able to say what's important to those people that matter. Most people who enter psychotherapy generally function fairly well; they realize, however, that something is missing in their lives and they can't figure out what it is.
The initial consultation helps determine what problems exist, and whether psychotherapy is an appropriate treatment. If so, then the process is explained.
