Talking cure (psychotherapy)

The "talking cure" refers to psychotherapy approaches where clients share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences through conversation with a trained therapist. This process helps individuals understand and process their emotions, identify patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies. It is based on the idea that talking openly can alleviate psychological distress and promote mental well-being. The term originated from early psychotherapy practices, emphasizing the therapeutic power of verbal expression as a key tool in healing and personal growth.
