Importance of Counselling

The uncertainties in life do derail the outcome, as envisaged & expected, of one’s thoughts and actions. The emotional response in such a situation at times is nasty and violent behaviour that adversely impacts own self. The internal mental conflicts pressurize the individual so overwhelmingly that he/she starts exhibiting sudden/unexplained mood swings, social isolation from friends & family members, hopelessness, helplessness, anxiety, anger and over indulgence in alcohol/drug abuse. The observance of suspicious behaviour/sudden change in individual’s personality indicates he/she might risk mental health. A counselor provides an environment in which the individual feels safe to express his/her feelings uninhibitedly without fear of being judged & stigmatised, learn & develop the much needed healthier coping mechanism to deal with mental conflicts. The session with counselor helps the individual re-evaluate, reconsider his/her opinions and end up learning adaptive coping mechanisms to deal with their stress.               

Counsel for Love & Breakup

Love happens naturally and the person envisions a beautiful sincere loving relationship/partnership but after blissful courtship for sometime witnessing absence of reciprocation & rejection in love at some point later hurts miserably. It leads to despair and hopelessness. A person keeps on thinking of the other, suffers from the incessant pain, is incapable of accepting the bitter reality and is traumatised to the extent of landing up in depression. One must deal with it head held high, do not hold self responsible, try to distance self emotionally away from ex-partner who failed to nurture the relationship he/she willfully got into, let him/her walk away there is no point forcing someone emotionally withdrawn but just dragging along to be with you, have faith you have moved one step closer to meet someone made only for you. In such a situation one must look at  the broader aspects of life i.e one’s career & future, experiences awaiting in one’s intended travels etc. Relationship is just one part of your life; do not let it break you up, cherish the opportunities in store, love self, with time the pain will go & one shall be fine & happy.         

Parents are the first teachers who teach the child everything including the art of perseverance and value of giving respect. Parent’s patience with the love-hate relationship developed with them while growing up, pleasant & indelible memories marked with their love, respect and consideration of times when they held your hands to help create space in society plays an influential role in child’s future. A brilliantly groomed and happy child appreciates parent’s magnanimous hearts when they stand with & support him/her cope with the in and out of relationships dilemma being experienced by them. Failures are the lousy and best teachers, never get adversely affected instead evaluate in reference to the social and emotional impact of parent’s real life experiences to understand life. Do appreciate. One can’t control one’s future so do not be harsh on self, love & indulge in creative self that is an integral part of us. Be positive & go with the flow to enjoy each & every moment in its fullest, while exploring various aspects to win over the emptiness in life.

Psychological well being is greatly influenced by one’s thought process. Compassion, acceptance, indulgence in activities that stimulates & inspires the mind, adequate sleep, enough exercise, healthy eating habits etc are essential to keep mind and body completely in sync.  Insecurities are very human thing but embracing these insecurities & living up to the expectations and mutual respect is the key to a successful relationship. Do not suppress but express inherent desires, view & assess the need to create optimal social life, keep a positive perspective, indulge together in activities of common interest as frequently as viable, learn to handle anger, anxiety, guilt etc to cultivate and develop close relationship.
