What is ‘social’ therapy?
Social therapy is the practice of freedom from psychological and social suffering. It is based on the principle that many psychosocial challenges we face are not individual problems to be solved but social ones.
For example, when a woman comes into therapy experiencing crippling anxiety, debilitating depression and unbearable pain in response to traumatic experiences of domestic violence, if she wishes, we work through not only the damage caused to her inner life but also social power relations that underpin her suffering.
Why ‘social’ therapy?
Social Therapy closes the gap in psychotherapy by seeing people’s psychological life in the larger context of the social world in which we live.
It recognises that on many levels, our lived experiences are socially produced.
How does ‘social’ therapy work?
Social therapy provides both individual and group psychotherapy to support people working on inner and outward barriers to freedom.
It is the creation of a practice where liberation psychology meets psychotherapy.
