When to go to the psychologist?

The psychologist is the mental health professional who helps us when we are experiencing events that impact our thoughts, behaviors, emotions, non-medical physical symptoms (palpitations, stomach pain, lack of energy, etc.) relationships with others. If you feel that some situation is affecting your life, it may be a good idea to see a psychologist. Another indicator that can be important is when some people notice certain changes in us and recommend that we seek help.

What is psychological therapy?

Psychological therapy, also called psychotherapy or for some simply therapy, is the process in which the psychologist and the patient form a collaborative relationship. This relationship is intended to relieve symptoms that affect thoughts, behaviors, emotions, non-medical physical symptoms (palpitations, stomach pain, lack of energy, etc.) relationships with others. Through conversation, exercises and tasks, we seek to reduce the symptoms that lead us to seek psychological therapy.

There are several approaches in psychotherapy such as psychoanalysis (if the one on the couch), Gestalt, Humanist, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, contextual therapies, etc.

How does a psychologist work?

The psychologist generally works through conversation in the first sessions, the psychologist will gather information about your problem, how it originated, since when you are experiencing these symptoms, how they affect your life, etc. With this information, the psychologist will seek to understand you and will be able to generate a plan to start treatment.

Later, the intervention phase will come. In this phase, the psychologist (depending on the approach) will begin to give you tools that will be useful to reduce your discomfort. Some psychologists use tasks to reinforce what was learned in the session

Finally comes the maintenance phase. In this phase the psychologist will begin to space out the sessions more until you no longer require it.
