What is psychotherapy and brief psychotherapy?
It is a simple process that seeks to know the structure of the emotional problems of the human being to change the way in which our mind processes situations and thus achieve a degree of well-being and satisfaction, this process can take in some cases a year or more. Brief psychotherapy has the same goals but seeks to cause change in the shortest time possible. This is achieved by determining the most important structural elements that make up a problem and making interventions on them, in this way some people can obtain results in short periods such as 5 -7 sessions, this depends of course on individual, personal factors, the history of the person and their immediate surroundings.
