Therapy is learning. Learning involves effort, growth, and a willingness to see things from a new perspective. The effort it takes to spend one hour a week focusing on yourself can be a catalyst for change.
Many emotions we have and behaviors we make are simply strategies to attain what we need or want. However, these behaviors and emotions may leave us or our loved ones feeling disconnected. Seeing our behaviors and emotions via approaches such as emotionally focused couples therapy, family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and marriage counseling for what they really are can be a revelation. Arriving at the point in which we choose to act consciously from this new perspective is transformative.
