Through research and clinical observation, many diseases are caused by psychological factors, so it is impossible to make patients recover from these diseases with simple drug treatment. The so-called "heart disease needs a cardiologist", from the psychological point of view, psychotherapy combined with drug treatment will often receive better results. Of course, not all diseases can be cured by psychotherapy. Some medical diseases and psychogenic diseases are more suitable for psychotherapy. It doesn't mean that no matter what disease, the same psychotherapy can achieve good results. It is necessary to "suit the right medicine" and choose different treatment methods according to different diseases. Formally, it can be carried out through individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy or family psychotherapy; In content, many different psychotherapy methods can also be used, such as psychological counseling, reasoning therapy, educational therapy, suggestion therapy, psychoanalysis therapy, behavioral therapy, exercise therapy, leisure therapy, relaxation therapy, biofeedback therapy, desensitization therapy, persuasion therapy, music therapy, color therapy, self-relaxation training, catharsis therapy, odor therapy, qigong therapy, hypnosis therapy, forest therapy and so on. In the treatment of patients, we must get the help and support of family members, and insist that the treatment is appropriate and correct, or use several therapies together to actively establish self-confidence, which is believed to achieve good results.
Here are two common simple psychotherapy for your reference.
Autonomous training method
This is a way to train yourself to adapt to the environment, which can relieve psychological pressure and enhance self-confidence and psychological endurance. The easier way is to sit up, put your hands flat on your thighs, then close your eyes and take three deep breaths, concentrate and guide your thoughts to the palm of your hand. The focused part will gradually feel warm and say to yourself, "Just calm down and your hands will feel warm." Then turn your attention to your feet and make them feel warm. Generally speaking, when people's hands and feet feel warm, they will feel relaxed and their minds will be much clearer.
Psychological consultation
It refers to a method of turning to a psychologist or a psychologist. Psychologists or experts can help patients solve some psychological problems, get rid of psychological shadows and bad emotions, help and treat patients through appropriate methods, so as to eliminate psychological obstacles and bad psychological factors, and correctly handle the influence of these factors, thus improving patients' mental health level and preventing and treating diseases caused by psychological problems.
