In the past two decades, India has evolved
in every sense of the term. With rapid industrialisation and globalisation,
there was a spurt of opportunities and the possibilities kept expanding to
exponential levels. Things have reached the point where nothing is impossible
for the average Indian. But this progress has brought with it several stressors
as well which were absent in our parents’ lives. Working nine to five has
become something of a myth as most of us are now trapped in unending jobs that
demand almost all of our time and energy. On the other hand, the sheer
competition out there can make life a constant struggle for any professional.
In such a scenario, proper mental health
counseling and therapy emerges as the only hope for the average stressed
out Indian. Let’s explore this point further and see how it is even more
relevant this year.
Therapy has always been something of a
taboo word in our culture. If we knew of someone seeking mental health
counseling, one always assumed the worst. However, as we now know better,
therapy can include everything from depression therapy to family therapy,
teenage therapy and even couple therapy. Mumbai’s therapists offer a wide gamut
of services that are targeted not only towards the seriously ill patients but
also the average individuals who need some sort of guidance and help for their
emotional and mental well-being. However, there continues to be a serious lack
of understanding when it comes to the role of therapy in today’s world. Let’s
break this down by exploring the exact role of a therapist and what they do.
Therapists are traditionally considered to be just doctors of the mind who
attend to mentally unwell patients and treat them through medication and
therapy. However, a therapist in 2019 is so much more than just a doctor, a
therapist is a counsellor, confidante and guide. Therapists have understood the
root cause of several different issues in people’s lives these days and are now
addressing it through a range of different therapies like family therapy
and teenage therapy. Teenage therapy in particular arose out of the need for
proper guidance in teenagers. On the other hand, family therapy was a response
to growing discord amongst families as we move away from joint families to a
more nuclear family structure as a society.
Be it through family therapy or couple therapy,
Mumbai’s therapists have been constantly pushing the envelope when it comes
to providing effective solutions to their patients. These days, people tend to
rely on them for not only mental health issues but emotional and mental well-being as well. In such a scenario, finding the right therapist or
counsellor can prove to be critical to the efficacy of your therapy sessions.
Thankfully, a city like Mumbai has a wide variety of therapists, some of whom
specialize in certain issues like couples’ therapy, family therapy, group
therapy etc. You just need to keep looking till you find the one that is right
for you and your issues.
