Turning to a psychologist is a manifestation of love and care for oneself. The need to support one’s psyche cannot be neglected. Psychological injuries are mostly not obvious, but their impact on a person’s health and fate is significant. Of course, during the war, there is often a need for emergency psychological help. And the victim’s ability to be active in this process is impossible or limited.
When it comes to psychotherapy, the mutual work of the specialist and the client is important, especially his desire and desire for changes for the better in his own life.
