UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF A FAMILY THERAPIST IN MUMBAI

Therapy in general is a widely misunderstood and under-studied subject in a country like India. However, at least in bigger cities like Mumbai, people are now at least opening up to the concept and are actively seeking therapy for their various life situations. This has given rise to a number of different forms of therapy as well, including the proliferation of family therapists in Mumbai. Who or what exactly is a family therapist? Let’s understand this concept in greater detail.

Conflicts arise in every family. However, ever so often, things might reach a point where it might create a rift between the otherwise loving family members. Family therapists seek to work with the entire family to help people re-build their relationship with their loved ones from scratch. This is done through group counseling sessions with the entire family. Think of it as just another therapy session, however one that doesn’t just take place with an individual but involves the entire family as well. The aim here is to create a safe space for the entire family to talk about their issues and converse with each other in a non-confrontational way. It is the job of the therapist to ensure that people follow this protocol and communicate in the right way. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how well the therapist can conduct these sessions.

Many people believe that therapy in general is a never-ending process. The reality is that the prime goal of a therapist is to ensure that you can live your life without therapy. Even in the case of a family therapist, they work towards empowering families to live together happily by reforming the bonds between them. Family therapy is fast gaining popularity around the globe and with good reason too.

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?

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...
