What is telephone therapy?

Telephone therapy is a form of psychotherapy that is performed during a telephone conversation instead of a personal meeting. Many therapists and advisors offer clients telephone therapy when traveling or mitigating the circumstances is uncomfortable or impossible. For example, if the patient must be outside the city for a long time, his therapist could perform a therapeutic session on the phone

because one of the main tools in psychotherapy is an interview, it is possible to make a telephone line. However, this is not an ideal situation. During traditional sessions, the therapist can explore the patient's body language as an aspect that can be quite detecting in terms of man's emotional and psychological condition. Because telephone therapy is not a perfect replacement for traditional therapy, it is usually used only when a doctor and patient may temporarily meet personally.

To make telephone therapy as effective or at least as effective as a personal session, it is importantTo make the physician and the patient a telephone session, while in silent spaces that are relatively without distraction. Psychotherapists will often take telephone therapy sitting from their offices or from a quiet room in their homes. If they are outside the city, they will find similar space to use so that they can pay maximum attention to their patients during a session.

It is also important that patients are relaxing in relaxation and silent environment during relaxing telephone therapeutic sessions. Because it is important that it is possible to speak freely during therapy, it is important that patients find a place where they feel they can speak without hearing. It is also important that patients are as distracted as possible. Trying to engage in telephone therapy when driving children to school, sitting in a restaurant, or starting the errands will not be too effective for examples.

While telephone therapy is not the sameAi as a personal therapeutic session and is not perfect replacement, it can function as an important tool for mental health, while a psychotherapist and the patient cannot physically meet. In addition, telephone therapy can be used as a supplement to traditional sessions. Some therapists regularly perform telephone therapeutic session with patients in addition to personal sessions. This can be useful for patients who need special attention, but for some reason they cannot get on the therapeutic session more than once a week.
