Psychotherapy: the difficult encounter with oneself

It is not easy to admit that we need help, we have come a long way, we have suffered a lot and we have reached the limit of our strengths, when we realize that we do not like the kind of life that we lead, are dissatisfied, lost and do not know what to do, in these cases psychotherapy can be of great help.

Psychotherapy is a good option to locate and rediscover our identity.

Psychotherapy shows us many alternatives and a better understanding of everything we live in our lives.

We often avoid a situation for a long time, just to protect ourselves, think of something else, and disconnect from ourselves.

People who, after ending a relationship, start another relationship immediately, are an example, do not think about what happened, do not suffer losses, ignore the pain and learning that this situation can offer.

This way of acting leads us to reject a situation that requires introspection and reflection so as not to continue to make the same mistakes. However, this is a very difficult process, requires persistence and often professional help.

“Those who learn nothing about the unpleasant facts of their lives force cosmic consciousness to repeat them as many times as necessary, so that they may learn what the drama of what happened teaches them. What do you accept about transformations?-CGJung-

When a person is not allowed to recognize the state in which he or she finds himself and engages in other things so as not to think about his situation, he makes this decision because of his fears, he is not in a psychological state to deal with it. this experience and flees to protect yourself from pain.

Inevitably, it will eventually be lost; escape brings temporary relief. He missed the opportunity to observe his fears, to know his limits, to get to know each other better, to mature and become a better person.

This temporary aid has its consequences and we cannot sustain it for long, if we do not face the situation we will feel confused, lost and unable to move forward.

We learn the resources to advance the different experiences we have, if we don’t face situations, we miss the opportunity to learn how to deal with them.

A psychologist can help us in these types of situations where resources are lacking to deal with repeated situations, deal with pain and discomfort. Our lives have followed a course in which we have no way out.

All the answers are in you. With effort and audacity, walk towards problem solving and realize that you are responsible for what you live and how you live.

Each person has his own process, with a different time and rhythm, however, the important thing is to start building this process, to meet with ourselves, to learn what we did not learn at the time everything happened and to acquire the resources that will give us. us the strength to live our experiences.

In this way, we will understand that we must face what saddens us, discourages us, erases our joy and fills us with bitterness, we must chew to digest and assimilate. In this way, we will prepare to “live”.

“I realize that if I were stable, careful and static, I would live in death. So I accept confusion, uncertainty, fear and emotional ups and downs, because that’s the price I’m willing to pay for a fluid, rich and exciting life?

-Carl Rogers-
