What A Psychologist Marin County Believes About Therapy

By Patricia Jackson


Everyone wants to talk to someone who is compassionate, caring, understanding and non-judgemental. This is why a psychologist Marin County has become more popular. Someone like this will be able to listen to you, without judging you. A lot of people don't have the support of their family and friends and they simply need someone to listen to them.

Even if they do have a close friend to listen to them, it can be helpful to get something off their chest, but there are other things to take into consideration. For example, you have to be aware that because of the lack of experience, friends won't know how to come up with a solution. They won't know how to guide you. It can be a problem.

It can make a huge difference when someone like this understands them and is able to support them. This will lead to a special, unique relationship. This kind of relationship is necessary in a safe environment because it is where trust will develop, and this is essential between the patient and the therapist. There are times where one has to share personal information, and one should feel comfortable in doing so.

Psychologists handle a variety of issues, form mild stress to major psychological issues. Some people just want to get something off their chest and need a professional person to guide them through the process. A psychologist may also refer their patient to someone who is more specialized in coping with the disorder.

It can take more time to learn to trust the person you are talking to. It depends on what you have been through. Some people have been through a lot of trauma. Children also struggle talking to adults who seem like strangers. However, there are ways in dealing with this. Creative therapy can be effective. Drawing and painting can bring out the best in a lot of clients.

There are people who are more skeptical, saying that they don't need therapy. This can happen in a marriage, where one partner will act as if they are in charge and there is nothing wrong. This type of control can be draining. When the couple do eventually go to therapy, one finds that there is a lot of work to do, because of the different communication styles.

Sometimes family members also need support. They may not know how to deal with their loved ones. It can be difficult to see a family member with depression sitting in bed the whole day, and they may not know how to cope with this. A therapist will provide the family member with more knowledge. This will teach them to become more supportive.

Relationships are very important and when there is tension or conflict in the home, it can lead to a breakdown in communication. Many couples drift apart, and children will notice the tension. One needs to deal with this, especially when there are children involved. A lot of therapists will deal with this in more of a practical way using various techniques, such as role play, for example.
