It is said that life consisted of one’s health,Dealing With It Is So Much Better Than Pushing It Down Articles job and relationships. If one of these is out of kilter it is possible to deal with it and carry on. When two are off, things get troublesome and if, heaven forbid, all three are out of whack, well, there is a problem.

Therapists are often seen as people who are around to help out in a crisis and clearly, they are adept at doing so. But there is so much more they can do.

Training

Becoming a therapist takes a long time and requires dedication and diligence. For example, to become an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California, the candidate needs a Master's degree and then must work under the supervision of a licensed therapist who themselves have taken courses to learn how to supervise. It takes 3,000 hours of supervised experience to become eligible to sit for the exams to become licensed.

The key point is a licensed therapist has both the training and the practical experience to deal with the issues we all may face. There is comfort in knowing you aren’t alone.  To be healthy is to learn how to deal with emotional challenges.

Tools for dealing with life

Therapist learning never stops

Becoming licensed is just the beginning of a therapist’s educational journey. Ongoing continuing education is required for all therapists not only for license renewal, but for keeping skills current and sharp.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs courses for therapists) can be online, but most agree that live, interactive workshops provide the highest level of skill enhancement.

Smart people seeking therapy

Going to therapy is a smart, cost-effective and efficient way to address underlying issues that create distress and contribute to unhappiness in life.  Working with a competent therapist can take you from “surviving” to “really living” a life you love!
