Psychosocial Therapy
The therapist is a kind of a midwife by asking the right question, therefore wisdom can be born.
Psychosocial problems are problems that have their origins in the mental capacity and/or social skills required to deal other people and different circumstances in life. Psychosocial problems involve a combination of problems that accord to feelings and thoughts (psychological problems) and problems that have to do with other people or institutions (social problems).
Psychosocial therapy is accessible, practical psychological therapie. The focus is not only on the problems themselves, but also on the way they are experienced, what meaning they have in life and how they are dealt with. It often involves holding on to old habits and beliefs, behavior and communication patterns. By increasing insight into feelings ,thoughts and behavior , space will be created for personal growth and development. Creating and maintaining the working relationship between therapist and client is central.
The starting point of psychosocial therapy is the belief that body and mind are unable to be separated, and that the person with his/her complaint cannot be seen separately from the people and the world around him; they influence each other.
Psychosocial care is a sustainable form of care: it does not focus on a single complaint or on a single treatment protocol. It takes a deeper, structural and contextual approach that creates real positive and lasting change.
An example of a psychosocial problem is that someone feels anxious or depressed and also has difficulties with his partner and children. As a result, the person functions worse at work, he feels tense and gets into arguments with the boss. This is how the problems pile up. Everyone responds to psychosocial problems in his/her own way. Some people withdraw, others become short-tempered and aggressive. Other people manifests itself in illness.
There are several areas in which psychosocial problems can arise. It can cause problems in dealing with other people. For example, at school, at work, in the family, when entering into a relationship or having children. In addition, problems can arise in the way someone views themselves, such as a distorted self-image or having little self-confidence. Such an attitude towards yourself has consequences for your interactions with others.
Talking about this with a professional therapist can provide relief and insight.
Sometimes 5 conversations are sufficient and in other situations longer guidance is required.
