Your world is spinning. Your heart is beating rapidly, and you’re finding it difficult to catch your breath. Your thoughts race between “What am I going to do?” and “Who am I without them?” Tears are flowing. Can you hear the voice now? The voice that has always been there. It is still calm and nurturing. “I am here.” “You will be ok,” it whispers. But what does “ok” look like moving forward? Whatever it is, you know that it will be drastically different than the old “ok.” It is time to create a new normal. You’ve silenced your inner voice for so long, but now you know you need it more than ever. It’s time to tune into that voice.

Perhaps you’ve noticed the rollercoaster of obsessions and compulsions that’s kept you from living life on your terms and are ready to break free.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
