- Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy has also been called the talking cure. The process can be difficult to describe, as it may vary for every client, therapist, and presenting issue. Often, the initial few sessions are dedicated to getting to know each other and to identifying the difficulties that have brought you to therapy. Depending on those difficulties, we may initially turn our attention to problem-focused strategies. These will be strategies aimed at improving your functioning. It is difficult to explore your thought and emotions, when you are living from one emergency to another. As your functioning improves, you will start to feel more safe, secure, and stable.
