SERENITY SPACE

Unfortunately, for years, we have lived in a world that has been judgemental about people seeking therapy. People bruise their leg and seek immediate help. People bruise their minds, but live in suffering for years. The belief that the health of our mind is not as important as physical health has been deeply inculcated amongst us. That said, in recent years, the stigma surrounding mental health is significantly diminishing, leading to a transformative shift in societal attitudes. While people are finally learning about the benefits and impact of therapy, there are a few who are still sceptical about it.  As a psychotherapist with more than 30 years of experience, I truly believe every human deserves to access therapy support. It is about time we stopped seeing counselling as a treatment and more like a way of living. It is time we start creating an environment where seeking mental health is seen not only as a positive but more importantly, a responsible choice.

​

We thus thought of doing our bit to break these stereotypes and enumerate the issues generally taken up in therapy. Issues both you and I confront in our day-to-day lives. Issues that need not indicate a severe mental health anomaly. Issues that may look simple but silently affect one’s quality of life. Issues, that CAN be addressed and treated with therapy.
