Why Do People Avoid Mental Health Treatment?
In a world where the pursuit of physical health is often celebrated, the journey towards mental well-being can sometimes be met with hesitation and uncertainty. Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our mental and emotional landscapes deserve just as much attention and care as our physical bodies. So why is it that so many of us hesitate to take that crucial step towards therapy? 🤔 🔍 Fear of judgment: The fear of being labeled as "weak" or "crazy" by society can weigh heavily on our minds, casting doubt on the validity of seeking professional help for our mental well-being. But what if we reframed this narrative? What if seeking therapy was seen not as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous acknowledgment of our own humanity and resilience? 💬 Stigma Surrounding Mental Health: Misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding mental health can cast a shadow of doubt over the decision to seek therapy. From the notion that only those in crisis require therapy to the pervasive belief that mental health struggles should be kept hidden, these societal constructs can create barriers that hinder individuals from accessing the support they need. However, it's crucial to remember that seeking therapy isn't a sign of failure—it's a bold step towards self-awareness, growth, and healing. 🌱 ⏰ Time & Commitment: In a world where time is a precious commodity, carving out space for therapy sessions can feel like an insurmountable challenge. The demands of work, family, and other responsibilities may leave little room for self-care, let alone regular therapy appointments. Yet, amidst the chaos of our daily lives, prioritizing our mental well-being becomes not only essential but also empowering. Consider therapy an investment in your future self—a dedicated space for introspection, healing, and personal growth. 🤷‍♀️ Fear of Vulnerability: Opening up about our deepest thoughts and emotions can be daunting, especially in a society that often values stoicism over vulnerability. The fear of judgment, rejection, or even self-discovery can create hesitancy around seeking therapy. Yet, within the therapeutic space, vulnerability is not only welcomed but celebrated. Therapists are skilled professionals who provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for exploration and growth, where your vulnerabilities are met with empathy and understanding.

One of the best ways to work with clients to help them achieve profund and long lasting results is using any type of work with parts. This is one of the methods I use most when I work with clients and for good reason. Is works! Simple as that! You can work with Parts using a numerous number of methods. Here is a list of some of the most known to me: - Internal Family Systems - Ego State Therapy - Resource Therapy - Parts Therapy by Roy Hunter - Voice Dialogu - Chair Therapy - NLP Parts Integration - Core Transformation - The Wholeness Process - Transactional Analysis - Family Constelations - Resource Therapy - Yagerian Method Recently I was invited by my friend Tobias Young to talk about different methods coaches can use to help their clients achieve success and naturally, I spoke about working with parts. Not only did I talk about parts, but I actually spoke about Resource Therapy, which is a wonderful way of working with Parts. In this video I present the basic principles of working with Inner Resources and then I work with Tobias to find, elicit and anchor his fitness Resource. This will help you regardless if yoou are a therapist, coache, NLPer or someone eager to understand profound healing methods. This video is your gateway to a deeper understanding of Resource Therapy. The discussion revolves around a powerful concept that can revolutionize the way you approach your goals: unlocking your inner motivation. Through a simple yet profound analogy, I illustrate the intricate dynamics of human motivation using just the metaphor of a notebook!

Watch this presentation and discover a powerful to access your deepest motivations by tapping into your imagination and creating a symbolic representation of your aspirations.

Yes! And it's such a creative way of using it💡
Chose your words carefully!
I am sure you heard the phrase: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." A study published in 2020 shows that words have the power to influence our lives and our well-being, well beyond their immediate meaning. According to the study, people who possess a broader range of positive words associated with emotions tend to have a much better mental health. Those who naturally use words like Optimistic, Hopeful, Grateful, Inspired, Cheerful are also likely to be in better physical health. The inclusion of a broader range of positive emotion terms was also evident in personality traits: using cheerful vocabulary was associated with higher levels of extroversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. On the other hand, individuals who possess a broader vocabulary of negative emotions tend to exhibit increased levels of neuroticism and depression. Moreover, they are more inclined to experience poorer physical health. Dr. Vera Vine, the study’s first author, said: “Our language seems to indicate our expertise with states of emotion we are more comfortable with. It looks like there’s a congruency between how many different ways we can name a feeling and how often and likely we are to experience that feeling.” The study was the result of stream-of-consciousness essays written by 1,567 students and an analysis of over 35,000 public blogs. TIn short, the language people use is directly reflected in their mental state. Those who used more words for sadness grew sadder, and people who talked about fear became more fearful. People using many different words for positive emotions, though, tended to show more linguistic markers of mental well-being. They talked about achievements, leisure activities, and being part of a group. Dr. Vine said: “There’s a lot of excitement right now about expanding people’s emotional vocabularies and teaching how to precisely articulate negative feelings.

Very useful! I think I will send it to my daughter, to see how harmful could be those "innocent" words and expressions which teenagers and youngsters use to exaggerate things, such as: "awful", "terrible", "it makes me throw up", "gross", " I'm a wreck" etc. They want to make an impact with this language (and, indeed, it's very plastic and illustrative), but it also could create this doomy and gloomy perspective and even reality!
Helping Others Heal Their Trauma
What do you find most rewarding about helping people through therapy? 🙌 Therapy serves as a powerful catalyst for positive change, offering a transformative journey towards healing trauma and reshaping lives.

As a matter of fact, all four possibilities are equally rewarding, too bad is just one-item answer☺️
How can I be more effective in my counseling work
Hello, everybody! Nice to connect together in this way! ☺️ Which preocupies me at the moment are these concerns: 1. To make specific and detailed offers for psychological services, so the clients would know from the beginning which suits them; 2. Consistency in my approaches, so by that I could "invite" clients to be consistent, too; 3. To gain more self-confidence, which will also be reflected in getting more clients, by promoting my services and taking all kind of different clients in therapy. Do you have some inputs or recommendations about these? What are your professional "sensitive areas" (if you have ones, of course)? May all of us have inspiration and success in what we do! All the best🤗

Thank you for your helpful suggestions! You are right, I should be more clear with myself about this confidence issue. And it is a great idea to find out from the clients what they need help with. Thanks, have an inspired day!
