THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER THERAPY IN 2019


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.

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 if even that doesn’t seem to help, then maybe seeing a counselling psychologist might. In today’s world that moves forwar...
