As I think I need to consult a health care professional to help me with these issues, I found a new therapist which I went for the first consult yesterday. I do not know if it will work but I will give a try and must remember that people are not perfect (even a therapist!) In this consult the therapist talked more than me and explained the process of the treatment.
The first part of the treatment is to know myself: questioning who I am, what I do, what I think, why I dress in a certain way, etc. In this part I will also discover the genetics heredity from my parents and what behaviors they had that could have had an influence on my own behaviors.
The second part of the treatment is more practical. The therapist said to me that the first part is essential and it is the baseline for all the treatment. In this second part we will deal with behaviors and how they affect me. I will need to have a balance in my life and need to have other activities besides work. Other important activities are hobbies, exercise and interpersonal relationships. The therapist said that these activities are essential and people who have it are less probable of developing mental health problems. The therapist emphasized the development of interpersonal relationships as one of the most important activities.
The third part of the treatment is when I will start diminishing the medication dosage and the monitoring of symptoms associated with it.
It is all for now and I hope to write what I will learn from each session with my new therapist on this forums, so other people could be helped also.
