Human beings are highly complex.
Nothing is more complex then the human mind. All people go through emotional and mental challenge , where they need to carry the weight of lingering problems on their shoulders.
Some choose to bear the weight on their own with an "I can do it alone attitude" , while others have the courage to ask for help
All too often, people incorrectly attach a stigma to the notion of needing help for "issues of the mind". - Somehow going to the Psychologist is not thought of in the same manner as going to see a medical doctor - This is false !
If one had a broken arm, one would seem foolish to try and let the arm heal on its own and not to ask a medical professional for treatment , and yet that is exactly what so many people do with therapy.
In fact , while it does take great courage to reach out and ask for assistance, the potential rewards are indeed immense - Through the power of therapy lingering weights and fears can be lifted off our shoulders through the guidance of an experienced professional.
Ask a group of business people about suffering from physical injury such as a broken arm or a torn muscle and you will probably get plenty of raised hands, however ask about who has suffered from depression, anxiety or fear and most likely you will get silence.
There is a famous saying that states "The mind has the unique capacity to either create a heaven out of a hell or a hell out of a heaven". - The key is how to effectively manage this balance.
Mental health is just as important as physical health and all too often people suffering from injuries of the mind keep things secret and continue suffer in silence not realizing that it does not have to be this way.
Its true , life is tough and just like a wheel of a horse-drawn carriage going down an old cobble stone road , life will bump up and down in unexpected manners, therapy can act as a shock absorber and help make the overall ride smoother.
