Understanding Reality Therapy: Reality Therapy is a counseling approach that focuses on the here and now, helping individuals take responsibility for their choices and actions. Developed by Dr. William Glasser, this approach emphasizes the importance of meeting one's basic psychological needs for love and belonging, power and achievement, freedom, and fun. Reality Therapy aims to help individuals make constructive choices that lead to more fulfilling lives. Application and Scope of Reality Therapy: Reality Therapy is applied to a wide range of personal and interpersonal concerns, including relationship issues, addiction, and behavioral problems. It's particularly effective for individuals seeking to improve their decision-making skills, develop better relationships, and achieve personal goals. Reality Therapy is relevant for people of all ages and backgrounds. What to Expect in Reality Therapy Sessions: In Reality Therapy sessions, individuals work with a trained therapist who focuses on the present and future rather than dwelling on the past. The therapist helps individuals identify their unmet needs and guides them in making realistic plans to fulfill these needs through responsible actions. Reality Therapy empowers individuals to take control of their lives and make choices that align with their values.
