Types of Therapy
Being updated
There are many types of therapy available.
Some are more cognitive or brain based, while others are more emotion-based or bodily/somatic based. Some focus on particular issues like OCD or PTSD.
As a consumer of therapy, it is your responsibility to do your due diligence and research what types of treatment you want to engage in.
You have the right to refuse any treatment you do not want, and the responsibility to choose a mental health provider and treatment modality which best suits your needs.
