The brain has the remarkable feature of elasticity. It is ever-learning, ever-changing. Thought processes and beliefs are literally pathways in the brain that have been formed over time. Therapy allows you to challenge your belief systems and literally create new pathways in your brain. The important thing to remember is that therapy actually results in physical changes in your brain, just as medication does.
