Změna psychoterapeutického přístupu: Kdy a proč přestoupit na jinou metodu

When you feel stuck in therapy, it’s not because you’re failing—it’s because the změna psychoterapeutického přístupu, přesun z jedné terapeutické metody na jinou, když původní nepřináší výsledky. Also known as přestup na jiný terapeutický rámec, it is a normal, often necessary step in healing. Many people stay too long in therapy that doesn’t fit, thinking they’re not trying hard enough. But therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for someone else might leave you feeling worse. The right change isn’t a failure—it’s a smart pivot.

One common trigger for this shift is when your terapeutický vztah, vztah mezi klientem a terapeutem, který je základem úspěchu psychoterapie. Also known as terapeutická aliance, it feels off. If you constantly feel judged, unheard, or like your therapist doesn’t get your struggles, no method will fix that. A good fit matters more than the label on the approach. Another reason to switch is when a technique like EMDR, metoda zpracování traumatu pomocí pohybu očí, která vyžaduje předchozí stabilizaci. Also known as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, it is pushed too fast, leaving you overwhelmed. Or if you’ve been doing kognitivně-behaviorální terapie, metoda zaměřená na změnu myšlenek a chování, často používaná pro úzkost a OCD. Also known as KBT, it for months and still feel trapped in the same loops. That’s not progress—that’s a sign you need a different tool.

Changing your approach doesn’t mean starting from scratch. It means finding what actually fits your life, your rhythm, and your pain. Some people need structure and clear steps—KBT gives that. Others need to reconnect with their body—TRE or somatic work helps. If trauma is at the root, EMDR can be powerful—but only after you’re grounded. If your struggles live in relationships, interpersonální terapie might be the key. You don’t need to suffer through the wrong method just because it’s popular or your first therapist recommended it.

The posts below show real cases: when therapy moved too fast, when EMDR backfired without stabilization, when KBT stopped working, and how people found the right shift. You’ll see how others recognized the signs, what they did next, and how they found a better fit. No theory, no fluff—just what actually helped people move forward.
