THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Paul believes, that to achieve the effect in therapy it is important to follow several important principles. The first is the clarity and transparency of the counseling or therapy process. Importantly, that man understood that, what faced, what reasons led to the current state of affairs, what ways out there are and what steps are needed, to improve the situation. The second is the equal responsibility of the client and the therapist in the process of therapy. A psychotherapist can suggest approaches and methods, explain the direction of movement and provide the necessary support to the client. The customer in turn, relying on the help of a therapist, makes his own efforts to the best of his ability and gradually regains more and more the ability to rely on himself. And finally, the third is the development of skills and understanding. Improving well-being, increase control over your life, all these are things, which you can learn, skill set. Certainly, someone will take less time for this, and someone has more. Someone will come one way, and someone - a little different. But the long way can be broken into small steps and gradually achieve any goal. He will overcome the road, who goes.
