The Effectiveness of Psychotherapy Sessions for Athletes after Recovering from Injury
Main Article Content
Abstract
Injuries significantly affect athletes both physically and psychologically during recovery. This study examines how therapy sessions influence athletes' mental well-being, motivation, self-esteem, and readiness to return to play after an injury. The findings indicate that psychological therapy aids in managing fear of reinjury, strengthening coping strategies, and restoring confidence. Integrating psychological support into rehabilitation programs is essential for addressing athletes' mental challenges. Techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness training have been shown to enhance emotional resilience. Regular therapy sessions provide a supportive environment for athletes to discuss their experiences with professionals, helping them regain their athletic identities. The research encourages sports organizations and rehabilitation centres to prioritize comprehensive mental health programs for the holistic recovery of athletes.
