“Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community”. – WHO
A person with good mental health can visit a therapist and seek help with improving their quality of life. It could be a necessity of building up their self-esteem and self-confidence. It also could be a relationship or other problems that need to be fixed.
A Therapist is able to help you
- master skills that can be useful to solve the problems or manage stress, anxiety and depression;
- make a choice and identify the strengths needed to implement decisions that will change your life.
Therapy doesn’t work for everyone.
- It wouldn’t be successful without strong trustful relationship with a therapist.
- It doesn’t help if you are not ready to change anything in your life. Therapy is not a milk and honey. It is hard work that could be unpleasant and stressful.
- It doesn’t work if you don’t do your homework.
A therapist cannot help you get a job or solve your financial problems. They can only support and assist you to manage your fears and anxiety relating to these issues. To overcome these problems it probably makes sense to visit a financial consultant or maybe spend money for upgrading your skills and knowledge.
