== Forms of therapy == Many different types of therapy exist, including: * '''EMDR''', which is mostly used for post-traumatic stress disorder after abuse or trauma, and is based on a mixture of eye movements and addressing distressing and intrusive memories and feelings * '''Person-centered therapy''', which is based on fully accepting you as you are, and does not attempt to challenge your thoughts or beliefs, developing self-compassion and self-acceptance is encouraged. Typically not a fixed number of sessions. * '''Dialectic behavioral therapy''' - while this is derived from CBT and is very structured rather led by the patient it is based on the principle that you/the patient are doing the best you can, and is very focused on skills training and coping strategies * '''Interpersonal therapy''', which is based on how you interact with others and how other people's actions affect you, and vice-versa, and icreasing support from others * '''Mindfulness-based therapies''' - based around stress reduction, increased self-awareness, and regular practice of mindfulness * '''Art therapy''', in which feelings or difficulties are expressed creatively, and the value is on emotional benefits with no need for artistic skills * '''Solution-focused''' - a short term therapy where you work towards a particular goal you have * '''Group therapy''' - attending regular sessions with others who have similar difficulties to share problems and thoughts, with a therapist acting as a facilitator
