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the relationship he/she willfully got into, let him/her walk away there is no point forcing someone emotionally withdrawn but just dragging along to be with you, have faith you have moved one step closer to meet someone made only for you.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

Believe in IT SHALL PASS.
