Talking cure

The "Talking Cure" refers to psychotherapy techniques that involve speaking with a trained therapist to explore and express thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The idea is that verbalizing inner struggles can help individuals gain insight, reduce emotional distress, and improve mental health. Originally associated with Freud's psychoanalysis, the phrase emphasizes the therapeutic value of dialogue in understanding oneself better and addressing psychological issues, making it a foundation for many talk-based therapies today.
