Psychological Therapy is More Important Than You Think

Marriages require work. Relationships require both partners to invest equal amounts of time, effort and hard-work every day. And in spite of our best efforts, things take a turn for the worst very often. Bonds break, couples drift apart, and it is the entire family that suffers. In such a situation, a good relationship advisor can make all the difference. Let’s dive deeper into this and understand their role. When relationships sour, the first thing that goes out the window is communication. People stop being open and honest with each other and in time, every conversation turns into an argument. Things usually reach the point where couples cannot stand talking to each other and this can take a toll on the entire family. A relationship advisor’s primary goal is to get both partners to talk to each other and listen to each other again. This is easier said than done but involves focused therapy sessions with both partners. An attempt is made to create a safe space for the both the...

In general, we as Indians are yet not evolved enough to fully grasp the power of therapy. In fact, we continue to look at all kinds of mental health issues with suspicion and skepticism. Unless a person has been diagnosed with a serious mental health issue, very often we don’t even consider it to be a problem. A condition that is most often overlooked in this way, is depression. We have a very harmful habit of mentally confusing depression as a mental health condition with simply being or feeling depressed. We all feel low or down from time to time and this is extremely common. However, there is a vast distinction between feeling low and undergoing depression. Depression is a persistent condition that can adversely affect an individual and it’s only through therapy, support groups and group therapy activities can a solution be found. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the idea of depression counselling. Depression counselling in Mumbai is all about leading a better life. Many people...

We get them admitted to the best schools and ensure we do everything possible for their health. And yet, we as a society, still tend to ignore their mental health. Indians have a number of prejudices against the concept of mental health and mental well-being. We not only view mental health issues with suspicion but strongly believe that visiting a therapist is only meant for those people with serious mental issues. But the reality is that even children and teens could benefit greatly from a visit to a child psychologist in Mumbai . Let's dive deeper into this and understand if a good therapist can make a difference to your child's life. From time to time, even the most well-behaved children tend to act out in different ways. This could be through reckless behaviour, bunking school, under performance , etc. In most cases, kids are blamed for being irresponsible...

The concept of a family has undergone drastic changes in the past few decades. From a joint family system, we moved towards a nuclear family system. This has solved a number of issues and conflicts that came with the age-old family structure, but many problems still persist. Relationships sour over time and conflicts do occur no matter how hard we try to avoid them. And just like couple therapy , family therapy too is gaining prominence. Let's dive deeper and see how it solves issues within a family. The breakdown of communication is the first sign of trouble in any relationship. Conflicts occur in every family and differences will always crop up from time to time. But real problems occur when these issues are left unchecked. Small petty arguments become commonplace and in time it feels like even a normal conversation is impossible without it turning into a full-blown conflict.
