Analyzing the case summary reveals that most of the cases stem from insecurity and uncertainty, parental dependence, and identity crises of adolescence. Chiefly, supportive and meditational counselling are done. There is an ample opportunity to introduce and implement Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and psychoanalytically oriented psychotherapy. In the due course of time we hope we could proceed much in the College settings and our creed should be “Lead us from darkness to light”.
EVALUATION OF COUNSELLING
Evaluation of Counselling is done qualitatively. In all most 80% of the cases parents along with the students are reported positively. Some of the comments are given below:
- ‘I am feeling much better. I could given attention to my studies after practicing deep breathing’.
- ‘Colour therapy is very much interesting to me. I feel relaxed and serene’.
- ‘I got relief after writing daily feelings Journal. It is a kind of sharing’.
- ‘No doubt I felt much better after starting relaxation training’.
- How to Know If You Need Psychotherapy
- You might realize that psychotherapy can help with life's problems, but it can still be difficult to seek help or to even recognize when it is time to talk to a professional.
Some key signs that it might be time to see a psychotherapist include:
- The issue is causing significant distress or disruption in your life. If you feel that the problem you are facing interrupts a number of important areas of your life, including school, work, and relationships, it may be time try psychotherapy.
- You are relying on unhealthy or dangerous coping mechanisms. If you find yourself dealing with your problem by smoking, drinking, overeating, or taking out your frustrations on others, seeking assistance can help you find healthier and more beneficial coping strategies.
- Friends and family are concerned about your well-being. If it has reached a point where other people are worried about your emotional health, it may be time to see if psychotherapy can improve your psychological state.
- Nothing you have tried so far has helped. You've read self-help books, explored some techniques you read about online, or even tried just ignoring the problem, yet things just seem to be staying the same or even getting worse.
A common misunderstanding about therapy among patients is that you'll immediately start to feel better. However, the reality is that it is an individual process that takes time depending on the type of psychotherapy you need as well as the severity of your symptoms.
