Therapy is treatment that helps a person recover from physical, mental, or emotional problems. It can include talking with a professional, doing exercises, taking part in activities, or using medical methods.
From Greek *therapeia* 'healing, service, medical treatment', from *therapeuein* 'to attend, to treat'. It originally emphasized the act of caring for someone over time.
Therapy isn’t just for when you’re 'broken'; it’s a structured way of getting help to heal or grow. The original meaning of 'service' reminds us that therapy is a kind of long-term, focused care, not a quick fix.
