Why Therapy Is Painful, But Worth It

Stay With The Pain Points In Therapy.

As a therapist, it can be difficult to see someone incredibly upset as they talk about their emotions. This applies to other emotions too, such as anger, bitterness, regret, etc.

But there are diamonds there if you can stay in the moment and encourage the client to stay at their 'pain points', and this video is about this topic.

The pain points are not only the weeds, but also the roots too. (Their deeper feelings and emotions), and behind those are even more.

Hopefully, you can see how beneficial it is to really explore these pain points, as well as their 'pleasure points' also.

A pleasure point can be a topic of, what life may be like when this 'root' is no longer having a hold on the client, if at all.

For many, they may never have imagined a 'no roots' scenario, so that can be incredibly difficult for them as well.

So I would encourage you to not move from the pain points too soon, but instead look for diamonds.

I hope you enjoy this episode.
