Psychoeducation is an important part of counselling. A counselling session is only 50 minutes out of your day, 50 minutes of your week so it is important that you are continuing to do work outside your counselling sessions.
Cogar Counselling will direct you to resources you may find useful outside the session it may be books, podcasts, Youtube videos, other organisations… We want clients to get the most out of their sessions each week and to help them understand why they may be feeling a certain way.
“Psychoeducation, the goal of which is to help people better understand (and become accustomed to living with) mental health conditions, is considered to be an essential aspect of all therapy programs. It is generally known that those who have a thorough understanding of the challenges they are facing as well as knowledge of personal coping ability, internal and external resources, and their own areas of strength are often better able to address difficulties, feel more in control of the condition(s), and have a greater internal capacity to work toward mental and emotional well-being.”
