Reasons For Therapy

Whether you are a person seeking self-exploration, personal growth and development or if you’re experiencing emotional pain or mental health challenges you may be wondering whether psychological counselling is the right option for you. Just like many other people in Australia, you may be hesitant about visiting a professional psychotherapist.

What are the main reasons for choosing psychotherapy counselling in Australia? Let’s look at a few.

Developing Good Mental Health

Health Statistics suggest that one in five people in the country deals with a mental health issue. Wellbeing isn’t just about a healthy body; it’s also heavily dependent on a healthy mind.

It’s a good idea to find a psychotherapist if you’re dealing with any of the following:

A Solution for Long-Term and Recent Problems

Unresolved issues from childhood and youth can have a profound effect on adults later in life. Others deal with the consequences of mental health issues that arise from relationships, losses and traumatic events. Whatever the issue is, psychotherapy and counselling can help you understand your experiences, heal your emotions, change your thinking patterns and identify healthy coping strategies.

Working with an experienced professional will shed some light on past events, the impact the past has on the present and the prospect of enjoying the future.

Relationships, attachment and bonding

Research indicates that relationships are at the core of many disorders and many of lifes challenges that we all experience. Attachment isa term referring to your first interactive love relationship—the one you had with your primary caregiver as an infant, usually your mother. This set the stage for how you unconsciously experienced and understood future relationships and bonds.

This attachment helped shape your brain and influenced your self-esteem, your expectations of others, and your ability to attract and maintain successful adult relationships. By understanding your attachment dynamics, you can build healthier, attuned relationships, and communicate more effectively. This is true whether it presents itself in:

  1. Romantic relationship, ideally the sustaining emotional bond in most adult relationships providing a platform of acceptance, safety and support. Although when miss-attuned can be a powerful source of frustration if not feelings of insecurity, rejection and feeling unloved.
  2. Relationship with close friends, fostering a sense of community and belonging a source of strength and support for many who can cultivate and maintain this and without this for many results in a sense of isolation, loneliness or even depression.
  3. Peers or co-worker, can make daily life something to look forward to as you mutually sustain and support each other in what might be meaningful or productive purpose but when dysfunctional can lead to exclusion, burnout or bullying.
  4. Spiritual bonds with something greater than the self, for many can be a source of inner strength, resilience and a source of love, ideally impacting on several above-mentioned relationships through compassion, kindness and understanding.

The process of therapy can assist you to understand your attachment roots, how this presents itself in your current relationships and the areas of unmet needs. Overtime, it will support you to engage in these relationships differently, where youll have your needs more effectively met and reciprocally meet the needs of those around you.  

Whether your relationships have ended, are on the verge of ending, or whether you wish to reverse some of the negative patterns before they get out of hand, therapy will help you to get on track.
