What is the goal of exploring the problem during therapy?

The goal of exploring the problem during therapy is to consider the whole person. This approach acknowledges that individuals are complex and multifaceted, encompassing emotional, psychological, social, and sometimes physical aspects of their lives. By considering the whole person, therapists can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the individual's experiences, values, and challenges.

This holistic perspective allows the therapist to address not only specific symptoms or problems but also the underlying factors that contribute to a person's situation. It helps establish a therapeutic alliance and fosters a safer space for clients to express themselves and work through their difficulties. Ultimately, the aim is to facilitate meaningful change and healing by considering the totality of a person's life and circumstances.
