Away with prejudices! Now is the time to ask for help.
Unfortunately, there are many prejudices that prevent people
from visiting a psychologist. Among the most well-known is the widespread
belief that anyone who seeks the care of a psychologist is crazy. That's
absolute nonsense. Even a healthy person can sometimes struggle with a problem
they can't handle on their own. And in today's challenging times, it's not
uncommon at all.
Go to a psychologist? No way, I'm not weak or crazy!
I started my own business, got married to my wonderful wife,
and soon we'll have a family, with our son due to be born in a few months. I
consider myself a completely normal person, with a fairly ordinary but content
life.
However, my father was recently diagnosed with cancer. He's
fighting bravely, but it's tough. Not only for him but also for my mom and me.
I'm worried about my father, suddenly I'm troubled by things I once told him,
I'm thinking about what I didn't do but probably should have. And I'm scared.
I'm scared for him, but - even though it might sound selfish at this moment -
I'm also scared for myself.
My wife suggested that I visit a psychologist. I firmly
rejected it, thinking it was complete nonsense. I got upset because I felt like
she thought I was a lunatic or completely incapable. I thought I could handle
all of this on my own.
I couldn't. I started attending regular sessions with a
psychologist, and I'm very grateful that my wife eventually convinced me. I can
talk about what I'm afraid of without worrying about whether I look like a
weakling or not. It helps me, I'm in a much better place mentally, and now I
can finally be a support to my parents as they deserve.
I can handle this on my own! Why seek the help of a psychologist?
Let's summarize the facts once more:
Going to a psychologist doesn't mean you're crazy.
Seeking help from a psychologist is not a sign of weakness.
In today's world, it's rather surprising if you don't take care of your mental
health.
Realizing that you don't have to face your problems alone is
the first step toward a life without worries and troubles.
You often ask why you should turn to a psychologist and what you'll gain from it. There's a simple answer.
First and foremost, a psychologist will offer you an
unbiased perspective on the entire situation, backed by practical knowledge of
human psychology. A psychologist also has significant experience with other
clients facing similar issues as you, and can apply this knowledge during therapy,
tailored to your individual needs. They'll create a safe space for you to speak
openly about everything you're thinking, fearing, or wishing for.

to know but were too afraid to ask.
WHO IS A PSYCHOLOGIST?
A psychologist is a graduate of a philosophy faculty with a
degree in psychology (M.A. or Ph.D.). Unlike a psychiatrist who is a medical
doctor and can prescribe medication, a psychologist's main focus is counseling,
psychological assessment, and providing individualized psychotherapy to
clients.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM A PSYCHOLOGIST ...AND WHAT THEY EXPECT FROM YOU?
In most cases, the general pattern is this: You expect the
psychologist to solve your problem, and the psychologist expects you to confide
in them about your problem. It's a highly simplified explanation because the
essence of psychological therapy isn't for the psychologist to solve your
problem but to offer you ways to address it on your own. The psychologist will
be your guide, advisor, and support during this journey. Their role is crucial,
backed by their expertise.
When to seek the help of a psychologist?
If you don't want to get caught in a vicious cycle where one
problem piles onto another, the most important step is to admit the problem and
want to solve it. And ideally, seek help from a professional.
In what areas can a psychologist help you:
- Relationship issues: Whether you're dealing with a
relationship crisis, communication problems, or anything else, it's appropriate
to visit a psychological counselor.
- Mental illnesses and disorders: Psychologists often assist
with addiction treatment, eating disorders, depression, and more.
- Personal issues: This category is quite extensive,
encompassing anything that significantly disrupts your everyday life, from low
self-esteem to psychosomatic difficulties.
- Children's issues: Every parent prioritizes the mental
well-being of their child or children, so professional help in this area is
crucial. Parents sometimes turn to psychologists even in relatively mundane
cases when they're unsure whether their child is developing correctly. Even in
such cases, psychological assistance is invaluable, especially when a child's
mental health is genuinely compromised due to issues like bullying, parental
divorce, depression, eating disorders, etc.
