The clients' fears and insecurities can be analyzed in a therapy session, and they can learn to think in a more positive manner. Mental health problems can cause people to adopt maladaptive behaviors. Self-sabotaging behaviors like substance abuse and excessive gambling are a form of maladaptive behavior.

Psychotherapy facilitates the client to explore their decisions in an objective manner, which leads to improved decision-making.
5 Improved self esteem and contentment
The majority of mental health issues are accompanied by negative self-talk, which has an impact on one's self-esteem and well-being. Psychotherapy provides clients with an opportunity to reflect on their identity in terms of past history, relationships, strengths, and weaknesses in a positive light.
