Mental health also needs our attention
We always try to take care of our physical health. Unfortunately, we often forget about another significant component of our life — mental health.
Our partners and friends from the mental health studio “Groont” noticed that people increasingly realize and feel the need for comprehensive psychological care that improves the well-being of individuals, companies, and our society. Their clients are those who experience difficulties in life, people who have to make tough decisions, couples and families that seek support and development of their relationships, companies that care about the mental health of their employees, etc.
Facing different problems every day, we risk burnout, experience anxiety, fear of expressing our thoughts and emotions, and even depression. We should not ignore such issues, as they can lead to negative and irreversible consequences.
Everyone should decide how to prevent mental health problems themselves. However, one of the most effective ways is a session with a psychologist. There you can get help with identifying the root cause of the problem and practical advice on how to get rid of it.
It is also possible to overcome mental health difficulties independently and without a therapist. For example, some people can cope with negative emotions in the gym or by doing workouts, while others need to take a vacation. However, some people are helpless to solve their mental health issues and need the aid of a specialist.
When you decide to start therapy, you should be primarily guided by the desire to change your life and make it better. Also, the purpose of the visit may be related to the curiosity of understanding oneself, desire for personal growth, and effective communication with others.
There are also lots of psychological books that will help us to get to know ourselves and our needs. Here is a little list:
- “Swamplands of the Soul: New Life in Dismal Places” — James Hollis;
- “Attachment”, “The Making and Breaking of Affectional Bonds” — John Bowlby;
- For men — “Under Saturn’s Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men” — James Hollis;
- For women — “Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman” — Clarissa Pinkola Estés;
- Irvin Yalom — for lovers of psychological novels.
We wish you to take care of your mental health, learn to balance your feelings, desires, ambitions, and ideals in everyday life, and be ready to face and accept its realities. It does not mean that things will improve overnight, but you can learn how to value yourselves and become better.
