Episode 3. More Than Talk! How Psychotherapy Differs From Other Forms of Help

How does psychotherapy fit into the schema of mental health care? And how do you identify how to navigate what kind of therapist an individual might like and a type of therapy that might be best for them?

In this podcast clinical psychotherapists John O’Connor and Stephanie Regan tell listeners that psychotherapy’s central purpose  is the deeper examination of the human experience. It involves a time frame and a commitment and an interest in exploring one’s life.

Stephanie identifies that psychotherapy goes ‘wider and deeper’ looking at the roots of things and asks whether there is a focus on the present followed by a focus on the past?

‘Psychotherapy Off the Couch’ is a brand-new podcast from the Irish Council for Psychotherapy. Each week, it brings listeners topical discussion and conversation with leading psychotherapists from across Ireland regarding a wide range of subjects, from relationships and resilience to coping strategies and children.
