Through open-ended and reflective questions<strong>,</strong> therapists encourage clients to engage in self-reflection<strong>,</strong> promoting greater self-awareness and cognitive restructuring. This method has proven effective in treating a variety of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Furthermore, the Socratic method enhances emotional regulation by encouraging individuals to critically assess the thoughts that trigger intense emotional reactions, thereby promoting healthier coping strategies. The collaborative nature of this method empowers clients, fostering a sense of autonomy and resilience in their mental health journey. The study employed analytical method of philosophy which is a rigorous approach that emphasizes clarity, logical structure, and precision in examining philosophical concepts and problems.</p> Ominde Eliud Copyright © 2025 Ominde Eliud https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 2025-03-03 2025-03-03 1 9 10.55976/dt.4202513231-9
