e-Counseling
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING Glowmind e-counseling services.
If you’re having suicidal thoughts, thinking about hurting yourself, or are concerned that someone you know may be in danger of hurting himself or herself, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to talk to a skilled, trained mental health practisioner. This e-counseling consultation is not a substitute for diagnosis of suicidality, depression, alcohol problems or other mental illnesses.
Why e-Counseling?
Each problem has a solution.
Understanding the problem is one of the crucial steps. Many a times I have seen a small problem often gets ignored until it stalls our complete activity.
1) Why mostly people hesitate to take Counselling?
Often people have a feeling that those who take counseling has mental problem. Well this is not correct. Taking advice from anyone could be considered as counseling.
2)Why counseling is important?
Prevention is always better than cure, that too when the advice comes from an expert. We need to understand certain basics here- Our mind and physical body are connected.
For eg, if you are having a headache you may not be able to enjoy a music, though you love music. Here the physical body which is unwell affects our mind.
On the other hand if you are upset today hearing a bad news, you may avoid a party today because your mind which is down affect the body. In simple words lack of sleep or oversleep, lack of appetite or over appetite if existing over a large period of time may lead to emotional and physical challenges.
