Psychotherapy as a Means to Achieving Wellness

Psychotherapy is an interactive process that aids patients in dealing with issues that affect their mental health utilizing several techniques and methods. The principle behind psychotherapy is that patients are capable of taking control of their lives without having to undergo medications or rigid rehabilitation. For Dr. Gary Zomalt, a known psychotherapist, psychotherapy is an insightful conversation between two people wherein one predominantly talks and the other mostly listens. As a Psychotherapist, he engage patients in an empirical, analytic, and psychodynamic dialogues during private meetings, integrating these with dream work, psychodrama, movement exercises, reflection, meditation, and trance in accordance to the specific needs of the patient.

The whole process aims to create meaning, recognize pattern and form solutions out of the problem. As part of the process, the patient or the challenged party has to retain his/her insights and significantly incorporate it into his/ her life. Since people normally search for meaning of their sufferings, psychotherapy help unveil the meaning of situations, events or conditions. Good therapists like Dr. Gary Zomalt can enable patients to scrutinize their own perceptions, beliefs and interaction with others for inconsistencies. Psychotherapy also creates awareness on the patient’s patterns and behaviors which forms the entire thinking process therefore uncovering the factors that contribute to the development of certain behaviors. Knowing the patterns makes it easier to solve problems and change their perspectives for the better. In most cases, the solution for a certain problem can be deduced from the problem itself. Even so, some solutions may not be effective and can cause more problems. With psychotherapy, people are assisted to get out of the vicious cycle of aiding the wrong solutions to their predicaments leading them to get back on track and face a new path towards a better future.

Committed to help others overcome their condition through psychotherapy, Dr. Gary Zomalt became a renowned figure in this industry.
