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.
