Hey there guys. I was just wondering if anyone here has possibly went through therapy in hopes of treating psychosis. Did it help for you? Can therapy treat psychosis? Cause it seems to me like it couldn't. I mean, if you are going through a very acute paranoid psychosis for example, you don't usually trust anyone, including the therapist you're seeing. If you can't even develop trust, then how do you expect to get anything done in therapy? What about therapy after a psychotic break? Could it possibly be more helpful then? Also, how many therapists are even trained or know how to deal with patients with psychosis issues? Is therapy in this case just a waste of your money and time? Thanks guys for your answers.

If you have damaging habits of thought, therapy can help you.
If you are in denial, therapy can help you. If you get triggered by present events into past pain, therapy can help you. This may not cure your psychosis, but it may make you better able to live with it. You might accept your limitations and not feel angry or guilty about your attacks.

T's are trained to see the paranoia and delusions associated with a psychotic episode. If you have a T in place prior to the episode, he/she can help you through it because a level of trust is established. A psychotic person often will trust their own T even when they don't trust anyone else. Of course it depends on the level of the episode. Hospitalization may be necessary.
There have been times that I was talked thru a psychotic episode and did not need to be hospitalized.
