Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy sounds strange and scary. But what does psychotherapy actually involve? Fears include thoughts such as: "Is he trying to influence me?", "Will I have to take pills for the rest of my life?" or "What if others find out!". A good therapist should be able to address and discuss these fears. The goal must be for the patient to feel comfortable, to have a space where they feel safe, and to build a therapeutic relationship.
It is the relationship that has the greatest, most healing effect!

What is special about therapy with children and adolescents is that the family, caregivers, and the environment are an essential part of the therapy. The whole system must always be involved in order for a change to take place in the child or adolescent. It is therefore essential that parents participate regularly in the process.
