Psychotherapy falls into several categories, including:
• Psychoanalysis
• Behavior therapy
• Cognitive therapy
• Humanistic therapy
• Holistic therapy
Psychoanalysis explores the unconscious meanings and motivations behind behavior. Cognitive therapy also focuses on how people’s thoughts contribute to problematic behaviors.
Behavior therapy concentrates more on learned behaviors that may govern someone’s life. Humanistic therapy empowers people to take control of their full potential.
Holistic therapy blends many different approaches, including massage, nutrition, animal or equine therapy, talk therapy, and mindfulness, including meditation.
