Clinical Psychology
- Thoughts and Recommendations
It is unfortunate that
many conceptualize psychotherapy as a stigma. You may feel somewhat
anxious about what you are getting into. Think about it as
an optimization: the optimization of your well-being and your capability
to orchestrate a rewarding time on this planet. It will contribute
to your continued growth and to what family of origin, a formal
education, and life did not accomplish: a sense of comfort with
who you are.
To benefit from the process,
a person needs to be willing to commit to it. This means,
to take responsibility for one's destiny. Psychotherapy
is not about fixing the world: it is about learning to look at
it and at oneself differently. It is about becoming aware
of, enhancing, and learning to use our personal skills, our personal
abilities, and our personal talents to either modify or adapt
to our environment.
"The
Serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I
can, and the wisdom to know the difference." (The Serenity Prayer)
