Psychotherapy is a resource developed from many theories about the human being.; theories developed through dozens, even hundreds of years of research.
It serves to overcome practically any emotional discomfort or behavioral alteration.
Contrary to what many believe, Psychotherapy is not only for the so-called “crazy”; Colloquially called “madness” is actually some type of disorder with specific symptoms and like many other pathologies it can be mitigated or even eliminated. As if that were not enough, every person is different, and can even change radical aspects of their behavior, perhaps with a little professional support.
But, on the other hand, if you have that “madness” in a clinically diagnosed way, it would be absolutely disabling. In cases like this it is not possible to take care of oneself, nor is it possible to make one’s own decisions… unless it is completely treated clinically. And I insist: it is temporary, if it exists, it can be eliminated.
The person with mental problems is not that way of functioning, nor is it “madness.” Each diagnosis needs to be confirmed for at least 6 months, and when confirmed, the symptoms will have changed, or perhaps even disappeared…
Why can’t we talk about crazy people?
Now, to be frank: Who is perfect? Whoever believes himself to be perfect is in trouble, since he is condemned to absolute stagnation, to lack of meaning, to frustration, but even if this is not the case, one should speak of “crazy.” Therefore, something so complex should not be vulgarly called “madness.”
Although I have been referring implicitly to some types of serious psychoses, the term “insanity” is not correct. In any case, the term would be psychosis, brief, postpartum, paranoid, schizophrenic, depressive… and for each one there are different types of causes and diagnosis times. For example, genetic, congenital, social, cultural, substance, educational or learned causes, etc.
Here I want to emphasize that, in and of itself, we are a society in which the naturalization of the sick and the pathologization of the healthy prevails. A clear example is alcohol consumption, another is infidelity, or the belief that fidelity is not possible (among many other poorly learned beliefs). Another example, living only to work and earn money, and not to serve because “there are people who need me,” “because it is my passion, my vocation to do what I do.”
It seems normal not to give permanent importance to one’s existence because our loved ones need us, and not to carry out the job that we have to do with the best attitude because we really don’t feel important in what we do.
Being necessary is great, therefore, if we work tirelessly to support our families we do not have to be in a bad mood most of the time, but we do need to change our approach, and for this we require a professional.
The importance of psychotherapy
So you don’t have “madness”, but take care of yourself to live better; Leave those annoyances aside, whatever they may be. If you do it on your own initiative, you may be more sane than people who don’t.. Whatever the issue may be, if you approach it optimistically, you will surely be able to improve your quality of life in every way. Isn’t that sanity?
When I say that you see a professional, I don’t necessarily mean that you pay me a family package of 7 consultations in MXN$3,200; I also mean and I invite you to do something to take away that discomfort for yourself: read a book, come back to dream like before, allow yourself what you were so excited about, get back to it in some way, with a mentor, therapist… but do something about it.
Returning to the main theme, It is not good to get used to what is not considered fair for oneself, speaking of a society that makes what is harmful fashionable and disapproves of what is beneficial… There are also couples who live codependently, they get along more badly than well and sometimes recognizing it gives them some satisfaction. Sometimes the social recognition of that toxic relationship as something “romantic”, by their friends, causes that couple to continue having a bad time and reproducing the “cycle of violence” over and over again, believing that because there are moments of “moon of honey”, that relationship is fine.
However, There is always a need for an “awakening”, a second opinion apart from one’s own.coming from a professional of the psyche or human relationships, with others or with oneself, with one’s own existence.
Concluding
Finally, I want to tell you that I am not including a bibliography for this article, because to be frank with you, time is money, but mainly I am telling you: if you are not willing to trust in your ability to improve your existence or your life, you will even less trust on a server, I quote the books I quote…
