Psychological Therapy

The word ‘therapy’ is most often used to
mean the psychological treatment of emotional
and behavioural problems. Therapy is a process that’s
similar to learning. Through therapy people learn about
themselves. They discover ways to overcome troubling
feelings or behaviours, develop inner strengths and skills,
or make changes in themselves or their situations.

One of the therapies that may be used during therapy is
known as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP recognises
that the therapist’s
assumptions and presuppositions will
have an impact on the therapy process. In studies looking
at outstanding therapists, it became evident that some
presuppositions had positive effects on the therapy
outcome.
