Healing Room

'Psychotherapy is the art of finding the angel of hope in the midst of terror, despair and madness' - CLOE MADANES Problems happen to all of us at some time or another. It can happen to people who are strong, capable, successful and normal. Emotional difficulties can cause pain that affect rational thoughts and decision-making, leading to conflicts in relationships and in the capacity to work and enjoy life. But while pain might be inevitable, suffering need not be. This book is about hope, the hope that we can live without the sadness of depression, the fear of anxiety, the pain of fractured relationships. Psychotherapy can heal these and other challenging situations that can wreck a person's life. But how does one find a psychotherapist? What does a therapist do? And, very importantly, what type of psychotherapy should one choose that best suits one's needs? THE HEALING ROOM is a collection of essays put together by noted psychotherapist and systemic family therapist Reena Nath that sets out to act as a bridge between the person seeking help and professionals from various branches of psychotherapy. Nine eminent practitioners share their experiences and insights into their fields of expertise. Psychoanalysis, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy, Jungian Psychology, Couple Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Psychotherapy for Children, Therapy for Adolescents Remember, the choice lies with us. The therapist does not direct those who seek help; they facilitate dialogue so each one of us can find our own answers. A must read for anyone interested in understanding how the human mind works.
