Are you one of the millions of people who spend billions of dollars on therapy, psychology, and self-help books each year, yet have no idea exactly what you are supposed to be getting from therapy—and therapy is getting you nowhere? Are you one of
- The one in four Americans in need of therapy each year for depression, phobias, mental illness, addiction and other mental health issues
- The 40 million adults who suffer from an anxiety disorder
- The 20 million American adults who experiences a mood disorder
- The millions of spouses, parents or other family members who worry that their loved ones aren’t getting their quality therapy or counseling they deserve
- The psychotherapists or medical professionals including: psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health counselors, social workers, doctors, or others who are concerned about professional ethics, patient rights, and the referral system
- The many mental health and psychology educators who want to teach the fundamentals of therapy ethics and impart the importance of compassion and respect for therapy patients to their students
- The groups, organizations or companies that are looking to raise standards of mental health care, boost quality control, and improve their name recognition
If you are one of the people above, you already know that a therapy revolution is necessary. Each year, millions of Americans just like you enter therapy hoping and believing they’ll be helped – but studies show that many aren’t being helped. After trying many different therapists and pouring thousands of dollars down the drain, they are left feeling frustrated and confused. Frankly, too many patients are asking, “Why isn’t therapy helping me?” And most psychology and self help books simply don’t answer that question.
This web site along with Therapy Soup, my blog at PsychCentral.com, as well as my book, Therapy Revolution: Find Help, Get Better, and Move On (Without Wasting Time or Money), will offer information about psychotherapy, mental health issues, addiction, patient rights, therapist ethics and more all in accessible language.
