Psychology has long been seen as a treatment for the insane. But, in recent years, I’ve seen many people take psychology to something a little more tangible, showing the potential benefits we would have if we sought the help of a psychologist.
So I see a lot of people from academia, from the social networks themselves, taking psychology to something a little more tangible, to show a little more of the potential benefits that we would have in seeking the help of a psychologist. And that demystifies this idea. And today, this issue is much more debated than crazy are those who don’t seek help, or those who suffer where there is a solution.
The person goes to psychotherapy and only engages in the process if they have any kind of discomfort or suffering. And realizing it is difficult, because you have to recognize that something is wrong with you.
The first step is to admit that something has to change. And we have a lot of resistance to asking for help. But there you have it: it’s not necessarily just shame. It can be a difficulty to change, a resistance to help.
Something that helps is finding a psychologist that is right for you and there are several ways to do this. The submission can be from another healthcare professional, such as a colleague or acquaintance. Another popular way is social networks, where different psychologists cover more specific niches, such as motherhood and pain, and this can help you find someone more targeted.
But it’s important to say that it’s okay to change over and over again until you find someone who shares your style and values. It will hardly be the first. In various areas of health we look for a second opinion and we can also do it with the psychologist.
