Individual Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy has been called The Talking Cure. But how does talking about ourselves help? Why not just talk to a friend or family member instead of a therapist? Because a therapist offers something different, a unique way of listening. It’s been called listening with a third ear, which means attending to the deeper layers of meaning and perceiving the emotional underpinnings of a conversation. Resolving the personal or relational issues that brought you into treatment is the obvious benefit of the talking cure. The less obvious benefit is developing the ability to listen to yourself with your own third ear.
