Therapy is About Thinking, Too

It's true that your intellect can get in the way of effective psychotherapy, which is an undertaking very much concerned with emotion. But therapy also relies heavily on curiosity and the ability to think analytically. This is why I think lawyers are especially well positioned to benefit from therapy. This isn't just a theory; it's been my experience.

Are lawyers disproportionately in need of psychotherapy? If so, I don’t think it’s some sort of character trait. The practice of law often entails stressful, high-stakes work that requires you to manage your emotions to an exceptional degree. Being able to keep your emotions in check is a valuable skill. Having to do so, however, brings hardships.

Is something not right in your life - the sort of thing that therapy exists to address? Get in touch, let's see if I'm a good fit for you. You can start the vetting process by taking a look around my website, including my blog. I like to think that I keep the BS to a minimum. If you find otherwise, please let me know.
