Executive therapy
Below is an overview of executive therapy, including what it is and how it works. When looking into ways to remedy stress and trauma, it may be helpful to review the following information.
What is it?
Executive therapy is a type of counseling that focuses on helping clients heal. The therapist will help identify issues that interfere with the client's personal and professional life. Most therapists in this field focus on patients that are in leadership roles or those that are high executives. Executive therapy follows a similar path as traditional therapy; however, there is an added focus on the professional side of things.
How does it work?
Executive therapy works very similarly to other types of therapy, with the main goal of helping the patient heal. However, it is different in the sense that the patient's professional life is much more involved. Executive business professionals that require executive therapy often have issues that bleed into their work life, which can result in bigger and more serious problems or feelings.
The therapist will meet with the executive on a regular basis to outline the problems or conflicts. Then, over the course of therapy, goals will be identified and hopefully achieved. Most importantly, the therapist will help the executive come up with ways to heal from underlying issues.
When is it needed?
Executive therapy may be needed when business professionals that are in leadership positions struggle with their professional and personal life. Additionally, business executives that have underlying issues from their childhood or other traumatic events may need executive therapy in order to perform better at work.
It is also good to know that certain companies may require their executive employees to undergo therapy prior to or during their time of employment. If the executive exhibits any signs of excess stress, grief or anxiety then therapy may be needed.
