Psychotherapy can cover many different branches of talk therapy.
Being a psychotherapist and performing psychotherapy is not a protected title in Denmark, as for example being a psychologist is. Therefore, when you want to shed light on issues in your life, it can be beneficial to investigate which type of psychotherapy best suits your personality and problems.
The type of psychotherapy I offer is NLP therapy.
A form of therapy that with its 3 letters covers Neuro Linguistic Programming, which is truly a difficult name.Neuro Linguistic Programming is a psychotherapeutic form, which means that the therapist is trained in investigating, understanding and working with the inner language, the inner images and representations, with which we process (program) the world.
Or put another way.
The form of psychotherapy that an NLP therapist performs is a form in which the therapist, through conversation and the use of gentle, tried and effective techniques, helps you to notice your inner language, ie. the thoughts and feelings you have. And in cases where the internal representations create problems, ie. In those situations where you feel locked in, the NLP therapist’s most important task is to help you nuance the inner representations and thus your options for action in your own life.
Investigate what options – forms of treatment exist
Numerous studies have been done on
what it is that works in terms of psychotherapeutic treatment. Should one turn to NLP, gestalt therapy, psychoanalytic therapy, Kempler therapy, Dispuk – trained therapists or what? It is understandable that there can be many questions.
A starting point is that all studies show
that the psychotherapists who manage to create a safe and trusting contact during the treatments achieve the best results. Thus, for you who want psychotherapy, it becomes more a question of finding a psychotherapist who is trustworthy rather than about which branch.
You may have several clues or clues that you go for when choosing a psychotherapist.
You should seek out a psychotherapist who exudes balance and not a psychotherapist who himself seems burnt out or unsympathetic.
It is in the psychotherapy therapist’s job
to be the one to take care of and guide, but it is just as much the therapist’s responsibility to help you find your own answers and solutions.
So:
If you meet in psychotherapy a therapist who only advises and has no respect for your model of the world and your solution proposals, you should consider whether this is where you should continue your treatment.
When you choose to go into psychotherapy, keep in mind
that it is immediately about your mental health, your mental well-being and all in all your present and future, which is why when choosing a therapist, you must use both your common sense and your emotional discernment.
There are keywords that may be relevant with regard to psychotherapy. Keywords that you can also use in many other aspects of life.
As I have mentioned, you need to take trust very seriously.
You should preferably feel a basic sense of security with the person fairly quickly so that you can open up to your inner self and put into words what is pressing you. Be aware that in psychotherapy you may be asked some questions that you have not been able or willing to relate to before. This is the job of the psychotherapist and may seem a little provocative to you. This phase is necessary, but just as necessary is that you feel that you are not being violated. It’s good to be pushed a little more; for some it is even good to be confronted with their own behavior, but it must be done in a respectful way. A psychotherapist, like a good defense lawyer, must be ready to let you roll up your story, and the psychotherapist’s task is then to help find the forces, emotionally and mentally, that you have not managed to activate on your own.
In addition to trust, you can gauge honesty, credibility and balance.
Avoid psychotherapists who make themselves powerful at your expense,
Psychotherapists who flirt with you, psychotherapists who make you feel stupid / small / wrong and psychotherapists who guarantee you healing but where the results fail over time.
Remember that in psychotherapy you can go a long way if you want to. What you need to get into psychotherapy is that you are ready to open up to something that you may have hidden or are embarrassed about. You have the role in the psychotherapeutic treatment to be honest and put into words also what you may feel guilt and shame over, and to be able to put into words something you have done that you know is wrong. It is a collaboration to go into psychotherapy, and if you trust your psychotherapist, you will go a long way.
So how do you find a psychotherapist so you can get just the right psychotherapeutic treatment for you?
That’s a good question and there are several answers. On the one hand, you can talk to people you know. Of course, it is not a given that the psychotherapist who suits your girlfriend, boyfriend or cousin suits you, but it is a good place to start.
In addition, I will point to the Internet.
Here you can look up all psychotherapeutic directions and read for yourself the form of psychotherapeutic that you feel resonates with you the most. The internet is a great search tool for you who are faced with wanting to make changes in your life.
The more specifically you search, the more accurate answers you will get.
Are you therefore interested in hypnosis, treatment of jealousy, treatment of low self-esteem, treatment of phobia – foreboding, treatment of insomnia – difficulty sleeping, well then search directly on the words and notice the resonance that is in you when you read the various websites .
When it comes to choosing a male or female psychotherapist, it’s up to you.
Sometimes women have issues that are best understood by women. Other times, a man may be the best psychotherapist. I would say it is very context related. That is, it depends on the situation. In most cases, therefore, it does not matter what gender the psychotherapist is. For phobias, allergies, eating disorders, insomnia, inferiority, etc. should not be decisive in choosing the gender of the psychotherapist. Only in cases where, for example, it is a matter of treating sexual abuse or clarifying a parental relationship / partner relationship, it can be useful to think about the psychotherapist’s gender.
So you can apply freely, and as long as you remember to apply based on yourself, you are free to find the psychotherapist who suits you best.
Quality – Quality requirements for psychotherapy
There are absolutely fantastically skilled psychotherapists in Denmark, just as there are of course some who have taken a few courses, but lack experience and are too interested in profit. You can afford to have a quality requirement, and can, among other things. via websites fairly quickly investigate whether the psychotherapist has a training of 4 years duration or less.
Psychotherapy is thus a mixed country trade, exciting from scammers to extremely talented people. If you really want to loosen up old, painful patterns or have fixed isolated issues, the Internet is initially a great way to find the psychotherapy form that best suits you. Both geographically and in terms of what you want to get solved.
There is no doubt that psychotherapy is here to stay. Fortunately, the Danes have opened up to recognize that it is not a bankruptcy to go into psychotherapy. Fortunately, over the last 15 years it has become more and more common for Danes to understand that some things need fresh eyes, just as it has become clear to many that the way of thinking that has created the problem cannot also solve the problem.
