Psycho-education
Psycho-education is an integral component of the therapeutic process, involving the structured delivery of information to individuals and families to enhance their understanding of psychological concerns. By increasing insight, psycho-education fosters a greater sense of empowerment, reduces anxiety, and promotes active and informed participation in therapy. It is typically woven throughout the course of treatment and tailored to the specific needs of each client.
