Importance of Counselling

Anmol Singh-Psychologist & Counselor, Chandigarh

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

Anmol Singh-Psychologist & Counselor, Chandigarh 

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nurture the relationship he/she willfully got into, let him/her walk away there is no point forcing someone emotionally withdrawn but just dragging along to be with you, have faith you have moved one step closer to meet someone made only for you.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.

IT SHALL PASS

Anmol Singh-Psychologist & Counselor, Chandigarh

Many of us face a time in our journey of life when one is overwhelmed by the unending troubles due to one’s uncontrolled emotions, past memories, troubled relationships, bad finances, responsibilities and start feeling low to the extent of battling with suicidal thoughts. Be grateful to everything good in your life and remain enthusiastic & motivated to tide over your attitude of feeling discontent with the prevailing chaotic conditions in life. Retaining calm & confident composure instead of losing one’s cool due to the anxiety build up because of an unwarranted situation is what salvages one from occurrence of many misadventures. Believe in IT SHALL PASS.

Keep body & mind completely in sync.

Anmol Singh-Psychologist & Counselor, Chandigarh

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.
