Chapter 15 First Impression, Option 1

I have never had therapy, but being a college student, it might be helpful. If I were to get therapy I would want a behavioral psychological approach. I think this approach would help with my anxiety and understanding my emotions. I would not use this for someone who is more cut and dry. I think behavioral psychology is more interpretive and about more abstract concepts. The next one would be cognitive because of how similar it is to behavioral. It is all about mental processes which I am interested in. I think this would help me be more aware of myself and more understanding/ less harsh on myself. The only negative side of this approach is that it is strictly mental processes which is not the only part in psychology. The next would be humanistic because it focuses on the entire body, not just the mind. This can be negative though, because you may not need to focus on everything, you may want something more targeted. Lastly I would use psycho dynamic. I feel like this one resembles a lot of Freudian beliefs ( because he was part of that movement) and I do not agree with many of them. This is a very interesting approach but I do not think it focuses on the right areas. I think it is important to understand where your emotions are coming from, but using the Oedipus Complex, does not sound accurate at all.
