What Is The True Gift of Therapy?

Chris Leins, MA, NCC, LPCC-S
About this episode

Chris takes on the reality that some therapists work to get patients better, not equipping them with tools and strategies needed to maintain their progress over the course of time. While treating anxiety disorders and OCD sounds like enough in and of itself, it is not. That's because there is no cure for OCD. If all we're doing is treating the symptoms, the symptoms will be back and so will the patients. The true gift and purpose of therapy is to teach patients how to get themselves better so that they know how to prevent relapses and stay better over time.
