Psychotherapy And Readings

People have been interested in the mysteries and workings of the power of the mind as
well as the study of human behavior from as early as the Greek philosophers Plato and
Aristotle In the late 19th Century, a new type of doctor of human behaviorist,
psychotherapist Dr. Sigmund Freud, introduced new methods based on a scientific
approach to understanding the way the mind works and would in time prove to help many
that suffered from mental and emotional illnesses. Dr. Freud’s methods would become
the foundation for psychotherapy.
The psychotherapist’s goal is to help the patient recognize what, in their
subconscious mind, is preventing him/her from realizing a mental and emotional balance.
A patient can be re-educated through a series of sessions with the therapist. Patients with
less severe mental or emotional disorders can seek help from non-medical counselors,
psychologists, clinicians, and family marriage counselors, etc.
What is the role of a successful counselor? A recent survey revealed the success of
psychotherapists was based on their ability to have good rapport with their clients, to be
good listeners and to show genuine care for the patient. Studies also have shown that the
success of a patient’s recovery or balance was the patient her or himself and not based on
the counselor’s abilities or educational degrees.
Psychotherapists and readers have common grounds: from previous chapters you
know that the success of a psychic reading is shared by the querent’s willingness to
actively use the information presented in it; both psychotherapy and psychic readings link
the subconscious mind to conscious reality, thus the patient/querent is in a position to
have a better control over present and future experiences and relationships. They are in a
position to listen, paint a broader view of a person’s problems and concerns through their
understanding and then, lead the person to a more balanced state of mind. While a person
is experiencing a session, she has time in private, to express thoughts and emotions not
easily shared or accepted by others in her life. During a counseling and a reading session,
the patient or querent, desires knowledge from a person in whom they have placed their
trust. The time in both or either situations can be a wonderful channel for self-discovery
and healing. Psychotherapy helps a person have clarity of self by slowly dissolving
barriers, one at a time. This process often takes many years. Meanwhile, the patient is
still confronting daily issues that are depressing or provoking anxiety or confusion.
This is one area in which psychotherapy and readings begin to differ.
