Psychotherapy consists of an interactional process that occurs between a person who presents a difficulty that they wish to overcome in the psychological field, and a professional (psychotherapist) who tries to help them. The topics treated in psychotherapy will depend on the history of each client. In general, topics related to events that are occurring in the present in your life, your personal history, and progress with respect to previous sessions are addressed. Depending on what you need, the therapy can be short-term to work on a particular issue, or long-term, to cover patterns that require more work for your development and personal growth.
