Therapy: Can Being Loyal To A Technique Hold Someone Back?

If one was in a position where they have just learned to drive, it doesn’t mean that they will know what car they want to buy. This can come down to the fact that there are so many car manufactures out there.
​
What they can do here is to ask their friends and family for their advice when it comes to the car they should go for. One could find that they generally have the same outlook here, or they could all have something different to say.

Another Factor

It is also likely to be necessary for them to find a car that is in line with their budget, and so there might only be a few options available to them. If this is the case, they will have no other choice than to look for cars that fall under a certain price range.

Fortunately, it is not going to be difficult for one to take the next step, and this is because there is going to be plenty of people who can assist them. Regardless of whether they have people around them who can offer their advice, they can go to different garages for more information.

A Process

In the beginning, what they hear from these people might not mean a lot to them but as time goes by, this is likely to gradually begin to change. There is then going to be no reason for them to make a rash decision.

Having said that, it might not take them very long to understand everything and they will soon be able to choose a car. Now, although the kind of car that they are going to buy might be what they need at this point in time, there is the chance that it won’t meet their needs as time passes.

A Different Scenario

While it is going to be relatively straight forward for one to take the next step when they need a car (as long as they have enough money), the same can’t always be said when it comes to moving on from mental and emotional problems. For one thing, when one is suffering on the inside, they might not even take the next step.

It can be normal for them to put up with what is taking place and to suffer in silence. Therefore, their life is not going to improve, and the people around them might not even realise what they are going through.

Stepping Forward

Yet, if they were to get to the point where they are no longer willing to experience life in this way, they might not know what to do next. Alternatively, they could talk to their friends and family about it.

This could be a time when they say that one should go and see their doctor, or they might suggest some kind of therapy that might help them. There is also the chance that one will go and see their doctor and not talk about what they are going through to anyone they know.

The Internet

At the same time, they might prefer to avoid this route, and this could mean that they will look into what options are available online. If they were to take this route, they might not know where to start.

Still, if they look through the different approaches and take the time to reflect on what they have come across, it might not be long until they have found something they want to try. Therefore, whether they go to see their doctor or look for something themselves, their life might soon begin to change.

Progress

After they have worked with someone for a few sessions, they may find that they start of feel better about themselves. There is also the chance that it will take them a little longer than this.

And as time passes, they might start to see that they have reached a point where they don’t feel any different. It is then as if what they are doing is no longer working, and it might then be a good idea for them to try another approach.

Attached

What one can then do is to look for another approach, or they might even feel the need to find another therapist who does the same thing. But although this might be the right thing for them to do, they might not be able to do it.

Through being so caught up with what they are doing, they might not want to try anything else. In the same way that someone can hold onto a jumper that no longer fits them, they can hold onto a form of therapy that has stopped working.

Loyalty

It can then be as if the therapy they are using is part of who they are and, if they were to try something else, they would be being disloyal. They can also have the need to please the therapist that they are working with.

As a result, their own growth is going to be put to one side and it is not going to be possible for them to move forward. Ultimately, it is going to be important for them to think about why they are having therapy.

Awareness

What is clear is that they are not going to live forever, and this means that it is going to be in their best interest to be loyal to themselves. If a technique or a type of therapy doesn’t work, there is going to be no need for them to be loyal.

And as for being loyal to a therapist, there is going to be no reason for this to take place either. If this does occur, it can be a sign that they have regressed to a child and are seeing their therapist as a parental figure.
