There is certain to come a time in your life where things begin to feel difficult, you begin to question yourself, your relationships, your career choices and other important aspects of you life. Society has become such that individuals, couples and families are often prone to stress and pressure. In our often, overburdened lives, these difficulties are often ignored and ones mental health becomes compromised.
Life's difficulties can often leave you feeling depressed, anxious, helpless and even hopeless. When this happens the people we are closest to often suffer along with us because we may become withdrawn, angry, resentful, frustrated, sad and so forth. This ultimately leads to some sort of maladjustment in our lives.
Therapy is an ambiguous term, and ultimately therapy can be anything ‘healthy’ that alleviates dysfunction and improves one's overall wellbeing. Psychotherapy is intended to help people who would like to improve their ability to cope with difficulties and problems in their lives.
I value the fact that therapy or psychotherapy is a safe place where individuals, couples or families can explore their difficulties without judgement. It is a platform that offers the opportunity for individuals, couples and families to initiate and sustain change in their lives, change that often allows for more positive self growth, better interpersonal interactions and improved familial relationships. Psychotherapy is a good place to begin learning and understanding conditions threatening one’s mental health. It can provide people with the opportunity to develop effective and healthy coping skills as well as more general life skills. Psychotherapy can be a great place to gain a sense of support and guidance.
Psychotherapy as an option to dealing with life’s difficulties is often overlooked by people because of a stigma attached to the concept of mental illness or the treatment thereof. A lack of knowledge or understanding lead people to believe that those seeking mental health treatment are ‘mad’ or ‘crazy’. Negative images conjured up by these concepts are fueled by inaccurate and stereotypical images that one often sees in films or the media.
It is often the case that people who tend to overlook their mental health may be suffering from conditions that go untreated. These conditions may then become episodic or even chronic. It is at this stage that people often begin to self medicate, using things such as alcohol, prescription drugs and so forth, which only masks the true problem. It is easy to see then that the difficulties or problems in one’s life are likely to be exacerbated by these ultimately, ineffective self-medicating strategies.
It is my belief, that people seeking mental health treatment in the face of difficulty, shows extreme courage and it is through their ability to recognize and acknowledge their difficulties that position them well on their way to living full, satisfying and fulfilling lives.
