Without Therapy Danvers MA Patients May Develop Personality Disorders

By Stacey Burt


Despite technological advances and the availability of a myriad devices that are all supposed to make life easier, modern life is more complicated and stressful than ever before. Competition is fierce and rampant consumerism has created an environment where the worth of a man is measured according to his status and his possessions. Many people cannot cope with these pressures. However, by opting for therapy Danvers Ma and Topsfield, MA residents can learn how to cope.

One of the greatest obstacles encountered by therapists is the so called taboo on admitting a weakness or the need for help. Psychological treatment in any form is still viewed as shameful and as a sign of weakness. That is why so many people think that they will be harming their own careers and reputations if they actually go ahead and see a therapist. The fact is that many people can live happier and more productive lives if only they have the benefit of professional treatment.

A further obstacle in the way of psychological well being is the fact that many people do not even realize that they actually need professional treatment. They do not realize that their personal feelings and behavior is out of the ordinary. They think that they are destined to remain unhappy, unfulfilled and unsuccessful. Little do they realize that they are part of a large group of people that can lead fulfilling lives, if only they get help.

It is gratifying to notice that efforts are made to educate the general public on the value and validity of psychological treatment. Patients are not mad or deranged. They simply need help to cope with specific problems. Once they have obtained such help they are able to lead fulfilling and productive lives again. Therapists are not hocus pocus operators that should be viewed with suspicion.

Professional therapists are trained to recognize the fact that each patient is unique. His needs are unique and therefore the treatment that will best work for him will depend upon his unique circumstances. In some cases it is necessary to also refer the patient to a medical practitioner. Sometimes psychological treatment is most effective if the patient is also treated by means of drugs that will, at least temporarily, help alleviate the symptoms he experiences.

Choosing a therapist is an important matter. There needs to be a very high level of trust between patient and therapist. If this cannot be achieved it is better to find another therapist. Many experienced therapists know that they cannot connect with every personality type and they will not feel thwarted if asked to recommend another professional.

One of the most important things to keep in mind is that therapy takes time. No therapist can make promises about how long it will take to solve the problem. Ant therapist hat does so should be viewed with the utmost suspicion. Progress depends upon the patient and the circumstances and most patients must accept that it will take time to heal.

People with any form of personality disorder and even people with general problems can benefit from the services of qualified therapists. Everyone deserves a happy, contented life. If it takes a professional to help them discover that contentment then it is certainly worth the effort and expense.
