Talking Therapy for Mental Health | Talking Treatment for Mental Problems
Talking Therapy Benefits for Chronic Mental Problems:
Freud’s psychoanalytical theory wins backing with a research reporting that talking therapy can be effective against some chronic mental problems including anxiety and borderline personality disorders.
A total of twenty three studies conducted on 1053 patients reveled that the therapy, if given thrice a week for more than a year, relieves most of the disorders, more effectively than other commonly used and known short term therapies.
In a similar study, conducted on ‘talking cure’ by University of Glasgow Sleep Centre, analyzed the effects of psychoanalysis treatment on 150 cancer treatment survivors. It was found that persistent insomnia, common among cancer survivors, can be greatly improved by the therapy. The study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Techniques to Relieve Nervous Energy:
- Nervous energy, anxiety and tension are the body’s reaction to internal stressors. If the stressor is prolonged for any length of time, the body and the nervous energy get strained considerably which subsequently take the shape of a host of psychological disorders. The nervous energy, in such a situation is characterized by uneasiness, restlessness, tension and anxiety with a edgy feeling and develops tendencies like becoming frightened easily.
