General Information about
psytalk
This section is one of the basic
reasons for the existence of this psytalk
web site. The site contains psychological and
therapeutic ideas I don't believe you will find readily elsewhere.
I'm putting them on the Web because it is a way of
sharing these ideas with far more people than I could
possibly reach any other way. I hope you find the concepts
useful.
The Self-help Section includes the following articles:
You Can Help Yourself ...people grow all
the time. This is an introduction to the self-help articles. It covers
some things anyone pursuing self-help psychology needs to know.
CAUTION! Find
out about the risks!
What Is Psychotherapy? Is it useful to work
with a therapist? Or are you better off doing it yourself?
What Your Doctor May Be Missing
Why Be Assertive? What
assertiveness is. How you can recognize it. What it can do for you.
How to pursue mental health is a
personal matter. There are often good reasons for using
self-help methods -- it costs less, you may preserve important
feelings of independence, and you avoid scheduling difficulties.
There are also very practical reasons for seeking a therapist
-- the most prominent of these is that it is usually a lot
faster, meaning you get to enjoy the benefits of mental health
sooner and longer.
On the Finding A Therapist page
you can:
- Examine my outlook on the therapy process.
- Initiate internet therapy with me.
- Check out my credentials.
