Contextual therapists have three main goals:
1. To help people understand the impact of their environment on their lives.
Contextual therapists work with their clients to help them understand how their environment affects their lives. This includes looking at both the immediate environment, such as the client’s family and friends and the larger environment, such as society as a whole. By understanding the impact of these different factors, clients can learn to make better choices for themselves and improve their overall well-being.
2. To help people find solutions that work for them within their unique circumstances.
Contextual therapists aim to help people find solutions that work within their unique circumstances. This involves considering the individual’s culture, values, beliefs, and social context. The therapist works with the client to identify the problem and then explores potential solutions that fit within the client’s worldview. The therapist also helps the client to develop new skills and strategies for dealing with the problem. Ultimately, the goal is to empower the client to find their way forward in life. This approach is effective in a wide range of settings, and it can be particularly helpful for people who feel stuck in their current situation.
3. To help people build better relationships with the people in their lives.
Contextual therapists believe that the way we interact with the people in our lives has a significant impact on our overall wellbeing. As such, one of the main goals of contextual therapy is to help people build better relationships. This may involve teaching people how to communicate more effectively, how to set boundaries, or how to resolve conflict. Contextual therapists also help people understand their family and community’s role in their lives. By doing so, they hope to empower people to make positive changes in their relationships. Ultimately, the goal of contextual therapy is to help people build healthier and more satisfying relationships with the people in their lives.
