Hello beautiful souls! Was it a real struggle to step out of your bed or you were grateful for having another day in your life? Were you grateful enough to have food on your plate or it took a great deal to even grab a bite? Do you feel younger than your age or it takes a real effort to get through and feels heavy inside?
We humans are dependent on one another. Growing together holding hands, working in perfect harmony to make this world of work. It’s okay to cry, it’s normal to feel sad, it is fine to take a day off. It is perfectly fine to seek help. It’s okay not to be okay.
Let’s check up on a few myths and facts about Therapy!
- The first and the foremost very common; Are You INSANE?
There’s a common notion that is attached to visiting or seeing a therapist where in society labels you as a lunatic. Highly functioning businessmen, working professionals or even sportsmen doing extremely well in their careers face certain psychological or emotional distress where therapy helps them resolve the challenges they are facing that are hindering their performance or the personal life. Therapists are trained professionals that help you process your emotions and open the door for honest expressions to yourself.
- Therapist is a stranger; how can he help me?
Your therapist listens to you without making a judgement or having any personal biases. Since your therapist is not your kith or kin the therapist does not have any personal agenda. Talking to a stranger is an advantage and not a drawback. You can vent out your personal feelings and experiences with an assurance of confidentiality.
- Therapy is endless and expensive
Every human is different and experiences are subjective. According to a study in the American Journal of Psychiatry under half of therapy treatments conclude after 3 to 10 visits.

- I will be forced to talk about things I am uncomfortable sharing
A good therapist might push you towards talking about past experiences which you may be uncomfortable sharing, but will never force you to talk about things you’re not willing to share. It takes a few sessions to build a foundation necessary to confront deep dark issues. If you are open to the process you will trust the boundaries and establish a bond with your therapist.
- Therapists have fixed solutions to all the problems
What is vital in establishing the therapist-client alliance isn’t what the therapist thinks is vital to cause change but what the client thinks is important. A good therapist tailors treatment sessions round the needs of clients rather than plugging clients into ready-made formulae. While doing so clinicians listen content of the story apart from deeper themes and patterns that undermine the stories. This enables the professional to mirror feedback supported these emerging themes and patterns which will facilitate change, not just the repetitive words and phrases that clients supply.
- Therapy needs to be practiced only going to the therapist won’t help
Just visiting your therapist and having therapeutic sessions won’t help unless you practically implement therapy in your life. Therapy is a two way process it is impossible to get the results without client’s involvement. Both client and the therapist contribute to the healing process, the client is not expected to do the work of recovery all by himself/herself but your therapist can’t roll in the hay for you either. The therapy must feel like collaboration.
- All therapists are the same
If a therapist doesn’t work for you it does not mean therapy doesn’t work for you. You need to find the right therapist. Finding the proper therapist will probably take a while and work, but it is well worth the effort. The connection you’ve got together with your therapist is important. You would like someone who you’ll trust—someone you are feeling comfortable lecture about difficult subjects and intimate secrets, someone who are going to be a partner in your recovery. Therapy won’t be effective unless you’ve got this bond, so take a while at the start to seek out the proper person.
Talking to a therapist does not make you INSANE but SANE. Happy Therapy!!!
