Perfect therapy for people who need help. I would like to say, I never can imagine it could be possible to heal people like that

With evidenced based therapies, we find the root of the problem together to implement solutions. We all face crises, transitions, or disorders at some time.

I don't expect it should, since most of us have our parents, family and even friends who are there helping us every step of the way. So developing the habits to take care of oneself, the right ones, takes time to develop. In some cases, we quickly jump from being taken care of to taking care of others. We never really learn to love ourselves. Society doesn't openly talk about it too, at least not in the ways we would need it to. "self-care" is frowned upon, in my generation. It just doesn't sit right to care for yourself first. So give yourself time to build the right habits, and eventually it'll be second nature to you.
