Consult A Psychologist For Online Counselling And Therapy

My Answer - 1

Hello there, 

Thank you for opening up on the topic with us here and sharing how you feel and putting forth the resulting situations and your personal thoughts and feelings about them. It can help and be an inspiration to others in a similar situation.

I can understand the sensitivity and significance of having gone through childhood abuse and the associated trauma and effects it may bring along with it in life which can be challenging to go through. I very much appreciate your courage to open up on the subject and share your experiences. 

The manifestations and effects of the abuse and particularly when experienced at a young and impressionable age can be difficult to go through and to make sense of at times. In this situation, you may seek the help of a professional who can understand and empathetically act as your support and help you in the journey towards healing. 

Further, I understand that the subject of 'gender identity that you talked about can be very personal and at the same time of great relevance to any individual as it relates to how we perceive our own selves and the consequent choices that we may make for ourselves in life. Exploring and experiencing situations in this regard may come as a new experience initially but in the long term, it can be helpful in acknowledging how you feel about yourself and identifying yourself with how you feel fits the best for you. This may further help bring more clarity along with a healthy acceptance of however way you feel most comfortable and which can benefit you the most. This eventually may help increase fulfillment and satisfaction in every sphere and experience of your life.

Hope that helps :)

My best wishes for your journey ahead

Be Well :)

Hello there,
First and foremost, I really appreciate you sharing your situation with us here. I understand it must not have been easy and I admire your courage and your faith in us :)
Coming to your concern, I am able to understand your difficulty in coping with the situation in front of you. Relationships and break-ups can be daunting to deal with and situations like yours can make it even more challenging for it requires not only the courage to 'accept' the reality how it is but also the strength to cope with the situation at hand.
At the same time, I believe in your ability to face the situation with strength. However, I understand it is easier said than done and for you being the person going through the situation it may not be at times easy to fight back your fears.
In a situation like this, 'therapy' can be a helpful solution. It will help you to understand and recollect your inner strength and overcome the fears that may be holding you back. Therapy helps one to get a better reflection of the situation and their ways of dealing with it, bringing about more 'clarity' not only about the reality of the situation but of the strengths and abilities within them to not only cope but 'win over' anything that may be holding them back.
Thus, therapy can prove to be beneficial not only to cope and overcome your current issue but will also help in making you mentally stronger to face similar fears with more strength and least mental damage in the future.:)
If you have any doubts or questions regarding therapy, please feel free to explore them through the platform. We would be happy to help :)

Hope it was helpful :)
Take care
Be well :)

Hello there,

Thank you for putting up a very relevant and common concern amongst people especially 'youngsters' of this age of digital era where procrastination is assisted through common procrastinating agents social media networks, online shopping, digital gaming, and more. 

Procrastination can be a sign of a lack of control over self as it prevents one to do the task they are required to do in order to achieve their planned future goals and instead divert them towards unrelated tasks, mostly unproductive in nature. This mainly happens because long-term tasks do not give 'instant gratification which is easily achieved by indulgence in these tasks. 

 As stated above, it a very commonly encountered problem and so it does not particularly make you a 'shortcut person'.

Our mind needs 'constant regulation' and 'discipline' in order to achieve consistency in task performance and avoid distractions. While this may seem a daunting task to achieve, the following strategies can ease the process:-

1. Keep rewards for short-term task completion. eg: If your long-term goal is to study the whole book, reward reading a few pages to build consistency.

2. Couple the task with instant gratification to build momentum and interest while doing the task. eg: put on the music you like while exercising, this will help you complete the required task with more ease.

3. 'Task chunking':  break the task into small portions and begin with small portions and gradually move ahead towards increasing the load. 

4. Accelerated beginnings - assign a short span of time in the beginning and once the initiation is achieved, the flow of continuity will gradually increase. 

5. Maintaining a positive outlook by avoiding guilt and remorse feeling on non-completion of a task. Keep moving forward with a healthy, motivated, and positive attitude.

6. Visual motivation and reminders: make small stickers and put them on the room of your wall in order to keep a subtle reminder of your long-term target. It's a very commonly practiced technique by students to keep themselves on the goal and mindful of their efforts leading towards the goal.

Hope you find these strategies helpful.

Take care and 

Be well :)

Hi there

Thank you for your question and concern. I will attempt to answer it to the best of my capacity. :)

Psychology as a field is an 'endeavor' to eventually widen the understanding of the human mind’s functioning and the pain felt while undergoing any ill impairment resulting in any mental health condition, with scientific evidence so as to assist in improving the lives of people.

 So, if psychology is to be personified to be a person, it would be highly empathetic, supportive, and compassionate towards those experiencing any small or big psychological issue and help them navigate their way to recovery :)

Taking the scenario of Bipolar personality disorder, in particular, psychology as a science as well as in its personified version is highly sensitive and supportive towards the person, for it would be very well aware and understanding of the trauma and associated problems faced by a person going through it, for BPD can be a very difficult and painful process to go through and psychology and psychologists are very well aware of it.

However, it is very much practically possible through therapeutic interventions to assist BPD people to cope and minimize the negative effects of it and lead a fulfilled life with higher stability within themselves and in their relationships and life. 

A good therapist is trained and sensitized to eliminate any stigma or prejudice with regard to anything presented to them in therapy, particularly for a condition like BPD, they are mostly empathetic and highly supportive of the client. Although, many as pointed in the previous answer, scrutinizing carefully before choosing the correct therapist is very important as having satisfaction with the therapist's work can speed the progress and give beautiful results

My Answer - 1

The bond shared between the therapist and client is the glue holding therapy. The client must be able to trust and confide in their therapist in order to see progress in therapy.

This scenario holds much more importance in BPD clients, due to their heartfelt desire and need to be understood and helped. Thus, the expectations from the therapist as well as their responsibility in such cases become much higher. Most of the therapists are genuinely concerned and work their best in supporting and helping their clients in every way possible. 

Most of the BPD diagnoses are done by qualified professionals with knowledge and experience and can help the person cope and be more equipped in their life situations.

However, people with BPD,  due to their high sensitivity may not be able to trust at ease. If one feels the therapist is not able to understand and support them in a proper way, they can take up the issue with the respective therapist by expressing their concern. This will help clear the picture for both the client and the therapist and resolve any miscommunication of intent that might have taken place. A good therapist would care and be considerate of the client's opinion and will ensure, they can provide help in a more efficient way .

But if one still continues to feel the therapist is unable to comfort and help them, they need not lose hope as there are other therapists available, who will be eager on providing help.

Hope this was helpful. Feel free to enquire more. 

Goodluck. Be well
