Mental Health Our everyday activities and connections cause stress. Feeling stressed is a common phenomenon. The ability to deal with that stress depends on various factors. It is completely normal to seek help in handling any kind of stress you’ve been experiencing. Consulting a counseling psychologist doesn’t make you mad or mental or anything else that the society calls it.

Breaking That Glass Ceiling Is Difficult While families, societies and other social organisations are not very well equipped to handle and understand mental health in India, the individual’s perception matters too. The person experiencing stress, pain or trauma has to break the glass ceiling that he/she has built due to the perceptions of the world. Once you’re convinced that you need help, the battle gets easier.

How Do You Decide? A lot of people struggle with understanding the signs or keep looking for signs to convince them that they need mental health counseling. While there are many signs and you’re your best judge; one doesn’t need to have any signs. If you’re feeling stressed, feel the need to talk it out, you can seek help. Your first instinct is to talk to your loved ones, which is fine too. Getting the conversation started is the bigger deal.

Why A Therapist Though? You may think that your loved ones can understand your problems better than a stranger and hence you can rely on them to make you feel better. Well, this does help on a temporary basis. While your loved ones may understand you and your problems, your therapist knows and is equipped to deal with those problems with science backed techniques. Your therapist brings a new set of perspectives too

Different types of therapy Depending on your condition and your problems, your therapist may suggest one or more forms of therapy. Group therapy, family counseling, relationship counseling or any other therapy can be suitable for you based on your condition. Often, therapists suggest group therapy along with individual therapy.
