What is a psychoeducational approach?
Experiences of distress can be overwhelming. We may long for care but find it hard to believe anyone can help. Through taking a skillful psychoeducational approach, therapists can provide clients with a supportive bridge from the isolation of distress towards effectively engaging in therapeutic sessions.
In this collaborative work, the therapist skilfully shares knowledge and ideas about the human experience, empathetically offering these alongside the client’s lived experience. Through this process, a map and language can emerge to orientate the therapeutic work and offer each client resources.
