¿Qué debo discutir en mi primera sesión de terapia?

Marcas de contexto y fase social Parece mentira pero he visto a muchos psicólogos empezar a preguntar sobre el problema del paciente sin saber siquiera a qué se dedica ni con quién vive. Preguntar sí…pero no de cualquier manera En terapia breve cada movimiento debe estar muy estudiado. Las preguntas del terapeuta deben estar dirigidas siempre a dos objetivos: Comprender el problema. Preguntas sobre qué cosas ha intentado hacer y que no han funcionado. Incluyo aquí también si ha habido tratamiento previos. Ayudar a transformar la realidad del paciente. La persona que acude a consulta viene porque tiene un problema que no sabe como resolver. Nuestra misión es convertir ese problema sin solución en uno que sí la tenga. Por eso la mayor parte de las intervenciones deben estar dirigidas a conseguir dicho cambio de perspectiva. Valorar la sesión Desde que pedimos a nuestros pacientes que valoren la sesión al terminar, nos hemos ahorrado varios malos entendidos. Escuchar Lo pongo de último pero debería ser lo primero. Escuchar sin estar pensando en lo que se va a decir a continuación es quizás de las habilidades más difíciles que tenemos que aprender como terapeutas. Si conseguimos que una sesión de terapia fluya igual que una conversación, sin sentir que estamos en guión previo, ya tenemos mucho trabajo hecho.

No sólo tienes que compartir información acerca de tus problemas, sino": [{" 1": "tus antecedentes"}] también lo más básico e importante sobre tu vida, como son tu familia, tus antecedentes, tus hábitos, tus relaciones, y mucho más. Debes tener en cuenta que estás en un ambiente seguro. El profesional no está allí para juzgarte, y entenderá si algunas de las cuestiones planteadas te resultan difíciles o embarazosas. Ten la seguridad de que está ahí para ayudarte. Se honesto Perderás tu propio tiempo y el de los profesionales a los que acudas si no eres honesto con ellos.fullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfullfull

Debes tener en cuenta que cuando entras en la consulta de un psicólogo estas en un entorno seguro, cuando te sientas frente al psicólogo muchas de las preguntas e inseguridades que tenías desaparecen o pasan a un segundo plano. Desde un principio el psicólogo te explicara todos los detalles que te irán haciendo sentir más seguro. Te escuchará poniéndose en tu lugar, en ningún caso te va a juzgar, ni va a emitir ningún tipo de valoración sobre lo que le cuentas. Nuestra misión no es esa, ten la seguridad de que estamos ahí para ayudarte, por eso puedes sentirte con la libertad total de contar lo que sea. Cuando consigues hacerlo sientes una sensación realmente liberadora. Es muy importante que seas honesto y sincero. Si tratas de aparentar lo que no eres, o lo que no sientes en ese momento, puedes complicar la evaluación y el diagnóstico de tu problema, y por tanto hacer que el terapeuta no elija el tratamiento más adecuado. Estar nervioso en esta situación es totalmente normal, si te es difícil trasmitir las ideas que quieres y no consigues encontrar las palabras adecuadas, compártelo con el terapeuta, él te ayudará e intentará de trasmitirte seguridad. Seguro que eres capaz de hacerle llegar todo lo más importante. Ya has dado el primer paso para cambiar aquello que te hace sentir mal y tomar las riendas de tu vida.
