Counseling is the answer

Counseling is the answer,

but to what?

During counseling you get to have time for your thoughts, liberty to talk and express your feelings, freedom to cry and shout. But you must be thinking, “I can do this at home, so why go to some strangers’ office and pay for it?” Well, psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists are trained to listen, understand and help you find a solution as well as to work towards that objective achieving a better and happier lifestyle. 

Many situations in our life compel us to feel powerless, mentally depressed and physically stressed. At times, these situations can leave us thinking that we have no choice. During these moments – which is normal in everyone’s life - it is more comfortable to talk to a stranger than to relatives and friends. Because a person whom you aren´t acquainted with has an objective point of view, they are able to understand with a cool mind; with this we therapists are prepared to think outside the box as well as enclosing a non-disclosure agreement with our clients.

I have met quite a few people who could benefit from counselling but in today’s world, most of them assimilate therapy with mental illness. We should be aware of this fallacy, the reality is that counseling is for any person bearing emotional stress or enduring a rough moment, as well as, making up one’s mind from all the confusions regarding what is the best decision to make; as humankind tends to unconsciously complicate life, later not knowing how to solve it. If not treated it could leave mental consequences that are triggered in the future or present due to the actions or thoughts in our past. Any mental or emotional distress is severe enough to consider therapy.

Now, the question is, how can counseling improve your life?

Self-awareness: helps you understand yourself, your thoughts and others around you.

Feel better about yourself: you feel at peace, comfortable and self-confident.

Reduce stress: working hand in hand to overcome fears, talking about perceptions and concerns.

 

Identify your goals: learn new behaviors’ and actions to achieve your goals.

I hope this article has helped the ones who need counseling and are doubtful about it.
