Whether You Are Single or In A Relationship, Therapy Is for Everyone


One of the main aspects of therapy is growth. Now, growth can be personal, professional or both. Growth can also on an individualistic level or companionship level. That is the reason of the title of this blog. Therapy is for everyone. It is not just for a couple who fights all the time or an individual who is perpetually single. Therapy is for anyone looking to break the chain of events and work on self-healing. There are different forms of therapy, yes. But the goal of all forms of therapy is betterment. In couple therapy, the goal is to repair a relationship that is seemingly broken and irreparable. In group therapy, the goal is for a bunch of people to notice self-growth and go home either a better person, or better equipped with handling issues in their lives.

Pop culture tells us that anyone who goes for therapy is broken and sad and depressed. That is not entirely true. Some people go for therapy just because they feel they are in a rut and that they need to change the sequence of events happening in their lives. That usually starts with self-improvement. Hence, such people seek therapy in the form of group therapy or personal therapy. People often confuse support groups and group therapy to be the same, but they are not. The fundamental difference is that for a support group, the end goal is just support, but group therapy, it is improvement. It is important to know that because the kind of people these are suitable for, also differ. At the end of the day, it is all about improving. Whether that is improving yourself, or the relationship you are a part of.

Here’s what you can expect from depression therapy

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.

Family Therapy v/s Group Therapy 

Family Therapy  Family therapy encompasses the counseling given to an entire family and focuses on problems that the family faces as a whole unit and ones that affect the entire family, as well as problems that affect family members as individuals that cause problems within the family.
