There is a belief that individuals who have experienced a psychotic breakdown and/or have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or another psychosis are destined for pharmacotherapy, with psychiatric hospitals being their primary treatment setting. While medication is often essential to alleviate symptoms that hinder daily functioning, it is frequently overlooked that psychotherapy can also be an effective form of support for those with psychosis.
Thanks to psychotherapy, it is possible to work trough and understand the experience of psychosis within a safe relationship, which is often a traumatic event- a moment of breakdown in the life course. Although it is in the past, it can still be source of suffering. Understanding the causes of the psychotic breakdown, as weel as the mechanism trough which the client tends to withdraw from shared reality into the world of psychosis, can protect against its recurrence. The very possibility of a honest and open conversation about statements that are often misunderstood by the surrounding social environment, with someone , who listen, tries to understand, and shares difficult emotions, can be soothing and help accept the experience pf psychosis, allowing it to become part of the personal narrative. At our center, we work based on the principles of Transactional Analysis, as theory of human personality and a psychotherapy approach founded on values such as anatomy and mutual respect. We place particular emphasis on continuous training of our staff- we operated in accordance with the best therapeutic knowledge, and very importantly, our work undergoes regular supervision by experienced psychotherapist.
Psychotherapy with individuals who have experienced psychosis is conducted by one of our specialist, Jan Kornaj. The first five session are known as psychotherapy consultations, which provide the client with an opportunity to asses whether they are comfortable with the working approach proposed by our therapist and for our therapist, this time serves as an initial diagnosis of the problem. If the client is a minor or legally incapacitated, we invite the client, to the first visit along with their legal guardian.
