Introduction to the Four Benefits of Life Therapy Education (LTE)
The four benefits of doing Life Therapy Education (LTE) are, first, that it is an alternative to mainstream, industrialized psychotherapy and behavioral health counseling. Mainstream approaches aren’t for everyone. Second, your sessions are online and completely private with full HIPAA compliance. Meeting online eliminates driving to your appointments, finding parking, being seen by others sitting in a waiting room, possibly being overheard, and being seen leaving. Third, LTE is a holistic approach that attends to the human spirit, body, mind, and relationships. It also addresses the same issues as mainstream therapies and much more. Fourth, LTE is customized for each individual client. With it you learn how to heal yourself. It’s about you describing your experiences rather than giving you mainstream diagnostic labels. Let’s go deeper into these four benefits of Life Therapy Education (LTE).
Life Therapy Education (LTE) is a Holistic Alternative to Mainstream, Industrialized Psychotherapy or Behavioral Health Counseling.
Psychotherapy and behavioral health don’t work for everyone. They don’t work for everyone because there are still significant stigmas about being labeled as mentally ill. Besides that, it can be difficult to find competent therapists and counselors who are a good fit for you. There are so many out there, and literally hundreds of different methods. Little is more frustrating than finding the right provider for yourself. As an alternative holistic approach, the benefit of Life Therapy Education (LTE) avoids the stigmas and hassles of mainstream, industrialized mental health care.
Another benefit of doing Life Therapy Education is that you’re not diagnosed as being mentally ill. Having a mental illness diagnosis causes problems for some people, especially when others learn about it. Sometimes others, out of fear, change their views when they learn someone is diagnosed with a mental illness. Sometimes those diagnosed lose relationships and jobs. Being diagnosed can lead to feeling ashamed.
With Life Therapy Education, I prefer to see and hear you as being wounded and in need of healing, not mentally ill. Instead of being viewed as mentally ill, I see you as having perfectly normal responses to hurtful, wounding experiences. You don’t need a mental health diagnosis. You need a full hearing, understanding, validation, empathy and a path toward healing.
With my alternative approach, you understand the source of your distress and learn how to heal yourself. I don’t heal you. I teach you ways to heal yourself. Once you learn how to heal yourself, you gain knowledge and skills that serve you for the rest of your life.
The Second Benefit of LTE is Private Online Sessions
For your private online sessions, I provide a HIPAA-compliant online platform that is used by many physicians and other providers. Your sessions are safe and secure, as are your payments.
I also provide HIPAA-compliant texting, emails, and phone calls to keep your information private.
With online sessions you have no hassles finding parking, being seen going into or out of therapy sessions, and sitting in a waiting room. You can also have your sessions wherever you choose. I’m available nationwide. If you have to go out of town for work or some other kind of trip, it’s easy to still have your online sessions if you want.
The Third Benefit of LTE is Its Holistic Approach
Unfortunately, mainstream mental health therapy and counseling focus narrowly on your physical brain, nervous system, thoughts, and behaviors. They aren’t holistic and completely ignore your human spirit. But your human spirit is the animating force that makes and keeps you alive. Without it your body and brain are dead.
In Life Therapy Education, your human spirit is essential for your life, health, and happiness. When your human spirit is wounded by hurtful experiences like trauma and neglect, it weakens your body and mind. Your body and mind don’t fully function with a wounded spirit. Besides that, a wounded spirit also weakens your relationships with yourself and others. You feel less like yourself and distant from others.
Attending to your human spirit, body, mind, and relationships and learning how to heal your whole self is essential to living a healthy, happy life, and realizing your dreams. I’m kind of like a sherpa, I show you the way.
Customizing Sessions to Fit Your Desired Needs and Outcomes is the Fourth Benefit of Life Therapy Education (LTE)
For the benefits of Life Therapy Education to work for you, we need to customize it to fit your needs and desired outcome. You, like every client I see, are a unique, once-in-forever, living human being of inestimable worth. You are living and creating the unique story of your life.
Customizing LTE to fit your needs and desired outcomes I need to listen to you describing your experiences. I listen to understand your experiences and how they’ve affected you. I’m not listening to label you with a diagnosis. I’m listening to hear and understand your descriptions of things you’ve experienced and how those experiences have either helped or hindered you in living your best life.
It’s so important for you to feel heard, understood, validated, and empathized with. It’s also so important for me to know about your experiences. Once I understand your experiences and what you need, together we find a way that fits you so you can heal, grow, and live your best life.
