But when one feels too stressed and anxious unable to perform his daily activities then counselling is the best option. Sessions are one of the best also because no one judges you. You get unbiased solutions and attention which helps you tackle your current emotional state.
With the help of DBT Dialectal Behaviour Therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy CBT, one can overcome emotional state and behavioural change. Counselling helps you to understand your thought pattern. Why certain thoughts are assertive for you and not assertive for another one? Secondly, you may also understand your deep fears and emotionality by which most of your lives are driven.

ASSESS YOURSELF
So many people want some kind of validation that whatever they do is right or wrong. They want to assess themselves. They want to learn about themselves. When you have a quest to learn about your mindset and want to grow in your life then therapies are great options. Introspection is one of the processes which one can do daily without fail. Sometimes you may know that you are right but you are unable to communicate or behave in a certain way because of your fear of people.
Then therapy sessions will help you to overcome what you are and who you need to be. What will give you validation that your self-assessments are perfect? When you are in a session you may get counter-therapy sessions where you can improve. You can change your thoughts which eventually change your feelings and behaviours. A professional person can assess and give authentic validation regarding self-assessment.
THERAPIES ARE SAFE FOR AND GREAT SUPPORT FOR
Suppose you come across some people who feel vulnerable to their emotions. Therapy is the best option for them. Secondly suggest visiting a professional for such help is most important. Therapies are safe for emotionally vulnerable people. Because they have a basic fear of being judged by someone, they have a fear of insecurity and sharing their emotions.
Emotions are difficult to manage sometimes. Especially whenever they are victimised self with the situation. Lots of feelings of imposter and internal disorders turmoil their calm and balanced mind.
While therapies drive them towards betterment. They learn about themselves and others. They learn about coping mechanisms. They also learn to be victors and win the situations with a calm mindset. They can control overthinking and self-stopping thoughts. Therapies are best work when one can get clarity about what they do and why they do.
Clarity leads to peace of mind and balanced thoughts. When someone knows how to accept without resistance then they are in a position to change the scenarios. But if they resist then it is more difficult to change and get expected results as well. There are various other benefits to visit for an Individual Counselling.

WHEN SHOULD I SEEK TO MEET A PROFESSIONAL?
As such there are no specifications for when to see a professional. But when your day-to-day life is affected due to your behaviour. When you feel you need to take extra steps to overcome your anxious thoughts. When you feel your mood is continuously changing. When you feel ups and downs due to various external factors. And when everything is perfect you feel restless and overthink about your actions and communications.
When you feel some of the flashbacks continuously haunting you you need to distract yourself deliberately. When you use too much social media or heavy usage of screen time. In the case of doing some compulsion activities, you need to soothe your anxious feelings. All are the major reasons that you need to seek some professional help.
I HAVE TRIED TO SEE THERAPY BUT IT DID NOT SHOW RESULTS.
Could you let me know what I should do?
You might have tried therapy earlier but it did not work. As per my experience with people nowadays people look for quick fixes. They feel they get healed without any changes. It may also be possible that you might have selected a therapist who can’t understand the root cause of your problem.
First of all, when you understand your root cause you will be able to understand yourself. It is important to understand your thought pattern and behavioural pattern. Because when you really understand your cognitively you can achieve the best results through therapy. Therapists are typically trained for emotionality. They are also able to see what you are facing and a change of certain thought processes may help you overcome your current state of feelings.
However, there are various therapies for various problems. Based on your diagnoses one can really get help to overcome. Sometimes you may take immediate actions but many times it takes time. But when you wire and rewire your mind with new ways of thinking. You can definitely get benefits from the therapies.
DO YOU KNOW THE BENEFITS OF THERAPY?
As there are various benefits already mentioned above. But there are last but not least a few more benefits I would like to share which give more idea as to why one needs to take therapy.
- You know better about yourself. When you make connections with your thoughts and behaviours you learn new things about yourself. Those emotions make you vulnerable because you are confused about what happened to you. Through sessions, you will be able to correlate.
- Therapies are helpful when you get guidance and recommendations which help you to achieve what you are looking for. Especially when you are capable of achieving your goal but your own thinking pattern makes you vulnerable therapies are the best source.
- Improve your current relationships. If we are not doing well emotionally then the first thing which affects us is our relations with others and ourselves. Therapies help you to build trust again in yourself and others.
- Once you do well mentally of course your physical health also improves. Your immunity improves because you take things more positively rather than negatively. You can understand now which pattern causes you a lot and you can change them with awareness, not by force.
