The Purpose of Therapy
The primary goal of therapy is to 1) help empower someone to meet the personal and emotional challenges they face throughout life, 2) learn how to live their best life, and 3) overcome the mental difficulties and disorders that affect a person’s daily life. There are many mental health concerns that people can overcome with therapy. However, not all mental illnesses are curable. For these illnesses, therapy helps provide patients with coping mechanisms to control and live with a specific illness.
Before starting therapy, a person should consider what outcomes they want to achieve. It is important to understand and commit to the goals and objectives someone seeks. It provides the counselor with an understanding of the patient’s purpose and gives direction and a goal for the counselor to move toward. It allows each session to be meaningful and impactful. If a goal is unclear, a counselor can help work toward clarity. Then, together, they can chart a course that best serves the interests and goals of the patient.
