Question

In what way does therapy differ from simply talking to a friend or family member about a problem?

Answer 1

The therapy differs from talking to a friend or family member because the psychoanalyst is a professional and does not know anything about the person who is doing the consultation. This allows the therapist not to make value judgments about the problem taken to the session and also allows the person to freely express the concerns, fears, ways of thinking and everything that can not be told to a family member or friend. In therapy, the person finds himself, responds to himself and tries to associate everything he says, everything he thinks and everything he talks about.
