WHEN DO YOU OR YOUR FAMILY NEED A COUNSELLOR?



When it comes to managing problems in our lives as individuals, we do manage to deal with it somehow. But what when it is a problem with your partner or within the family. Every relationship sees its ups and downs from time to time. It is what we do as responsible adults to solve this problem that matters. The gruesomeness of the problems can vary now and then. But if there is a proper clear communication established between the individuals, we can find ways of tackling the issues. Sometimes all that is needed is for people to sit and talk it out instead of just piling up emotions inside and bursting out some day.

But in some cases, the situation might be different. Sometimes, those two people are unable to just reach any solution. Things can sometimes go so much out of hand that intervention by third party becomes necessary. This third party can be anybody who the couple confides into. This person/s can help the couple sit down and talk and help reach a solution that is a win-win for both parties. But even after this if nothing seems to help, seeking professional help is the only option left. Marriage counselling helps couple to systematically put their problems forward and help understand each other. With constant fights and issues that keep cropping up, the trust which is the most important thing between a couple, something that binds them tightly with each other, is lost. 

A marriage counsellor helps the couple build this trust up first as trust is the foundation of working of any relation. He or she may provide them with various trust exercises too. The main aim of a marriage counsellor is to show the two individuals a clear side of the other party too and think through it sanely. The reasons behind couples approaching a marriage counsellor are varied. The issues that people generally have are, lack of time and attention given to the relationship, money matters, cheating and lying, more attention paid to the kid by one partner (mostly women), lack of sexual intimacy and inexpressive behaviour.

It all depends on the situation of the people that a counsellor provides solution. The appointments for such counselling is not usually more than twice a week.

Along with marriage counselling, family counselling is also something that people go for these days. It is way different than marriage counselling. Family is one of the best blessings that a person receives. But sometimes, some unfavourable conditions lead to loosening of the tightly knot strings. This is when approaching a family counsellor becomes important.

Now there can be various reasons for constraints to happen within a family. It can be due to a sudden death of someone close, an accident, divorce of parents, loss of property, financial constraints and so on. Soaring of relations between parents and kids is also one of the reasons to see a counsellor. With both parents working today, a child might feel neglected and lonely as he has nobody to express his or her fears and concerns too. A family counsellor’s work is to work on these very problems re-strengthening the bond between a family.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

COMBATTING DEPRESSION WITH FAMILY’S HELP

Feeling sad is normal. We all feel sad from time to time. The reasons for this sadness may vary. Death or loss of a close one, break up, failure, fight, are some of the instances that make us sad as humans. But eventually, we learn to accept the facts of what has happened, and we move on. Gradually, you feel better and you start living normally again. But what if, this sadness never goes away? What if, you keep feeling sad, and not knowing what is making you sad makes it worse? If these are some of the things that you feel, or know someone who feels this way, then it might be a sign of depression. Depression can happen to anybody.

It is important to remember that depression is not a phase as some people who are totally unaware of this condition claim it to be.

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it. But sometimes, due to some reasons, we may not be able to cope up with those problems. Nothing we do seems to work out or seems to ease the situation. This in turn leads to a lot of mental stress for an individual. There are many instances when one might seek help from people close to them. But if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
