Before Starting Therapy!

Hello to, All My Dear Readers, Followers and My Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping well and Happy. As usual I am keeping in Good Health and moving forward doing my usual, activities. I decided to rewrite some of the old articles with added knowledge and the changes The world has gone through. and I wrote about what Therapy is about and now “What you need to know Before You start Therapy!

This is only for those who are new readers and only for those think they need Counselling. It can be actually for advice on some Daily issues. Not necessarily any mental issues or even for some others to give as knowledge 🙂

If you’re thinking about starting therapy, you may feel excited about the opportunity to work on yourself … but also a bit stressed. The choices can feel overwhelming — deciding what type of therapy you need or who’s going to be the perfect therapist for you. You may not be sure where to start. So, let’s take the first step together and navigate the various information that can help make the decision to start therapy simpler.

Know that it’s not a sign of weakness

Sometimes, even admitting you need to start therapy can be the hardest step. This may be because you’re letting certain stigmas against therapy hold you back. For example, maybe you’ve been taught that seeking any sort of counseling is a sign of weakness. Or maybe your instinct is to bottle up difficult emotions instead of letting them out.

If you’re still on the fence about whether or not you need to start therapy, know that each session (no matter how many you need) will be focused on any or stressors you’re dealing with. For example, if you’re having a some problem day-to-day life, a therapist can help find the root cause of that issue and then gradually give you the tools to work at it.

Find the right type of therapy for you

Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. From psychotherapy to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), psychologist explains how each type uses different approaches and strategies. If you’re just starting out, take time to understand the types that are out there to help you decide which one is right for you.

So, where do I start?

Luckily, there are many ways you can start your search for a therapist. going through a healthcare provider, a referral from a friend or just start by looking around online. Even before you set up your first appointment, you can ask any questions about the therapist beforehand — like whether they’re specialized in the type of care you’re looking for or if they fit your schedule.

Taking steps to start therapy can be little worried but allow yourself patience and grace — after all, you’ve made the brave decision to take the first step — and with these tips and a little patience, you can find the therapist who’s right for you.

How to decide what’s best for you

To help find the best type of therapy for you, starting out with what problems or issues you’d like to discuss.

Ask yourself:

What do I want to change?
What is getting in the way of me making that change?
How much structure do I want in my sessions?

It’s also important to note that many health professionals use an integrative approach, meaning they are trained in a variety of therapies and will often use multiple approaches into their patient’s treatment.

Ask any potential therapists the following questions to help make the best decision:

Do you have experience treating people with similar problems?
How do you think that I can get better?
What kind of approaches do you use for problems like this?

It can be just Guidance on What Subjects Best to study, what sort of Job will Suits You, even where to live, House or flat. Because they will look and Listen in a different way. And advice on what they will think Best for your personality 🙂

The Gift Of Healing!

Hello To, My Readers Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. Well, I have been writing about PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested in studying. They wanted to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles very Advanced Topics. Since then, I have been writing on so many different posts and about values of food Milk being the Last article. After writing about “Giving” I want to Enlighten You about the Gift of Healing as I do have Healing Energy in my Hands 🙂

“The Universal Energy” is also called “Healing or Pranic energy”. Pranic Healing is a highly developed and tested system of energy based a no-touch healing technique that utilizes “Prana” to balance, harmonize and transform the body’s energy processes!

You cannot see this energy, but you can certainly feel it’s power. The Sun is just one example of the Universal energies which plays a significant role in our lives. The role of Universal energy in your life is defined as you give direction to the energy through your intentions. Universal energy is the energy that sustains life, providing vital energy to all living systems. The whole Universe, starting from the stars in the sky to the atoms that create them, including the world we live in and ourselves everything we see or do, is made up of the Universal Energy, at the most fundamental level.

Prana” is a Sanskrit word that means “life force“, “chi” in China and “ki” in Japan. Energy healing” include Reiki, Reflexology, Kinesiology.

Reflexology, also known as zone therapy is a practice involving the application of pressure to specific points on the feet and hands. This is done using specific thumb, finger, and hand massage techniques. It is based on a system of zones and reflex areas that purportedly reflect an image of the body on the feet and hands, that such work on the feet and hands causes a physical change to the related areas of the body.

Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a “universal energy” is transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

Kinesiology is the scientific study of human body movement. Adaptation through exercise is a key principle of kinesiology that relates to improved fitness in athletes as well as health and wellness. Click on this Link to go to another post I have written: All About Energy ~ Vibration!

Therapeutic touch (abbreviated TT) is also a type of Healing.

As we know, energy can travel. “Prayer energy which also can be called Healing Energy” can travel far and wide to distant places too. As a result of continuing to “Pray, Donate, Giving and Sharing, with Dedication and Consistently” over the years, I have begun to understand more and My, “Healing Energies” have become stronger

You also can receive as, “Healing Energy can Travel” Please know “That is is Not possible to show in pictures or in colour, But it is being felt in Your Hands: In your Palms and fingers anytime you do get them. “But one must have to receive with a Pure Heart and Loving Kindness” ❤

Mentoring!

Hello To, All My Readers, Followers and Blogging Friends ❤

Hope All of You are keeping in Good Health as possible. And Positive and Motivated. Well, I have been writing quite a bit about Therapies and Food. Taking after PURPOSE IN LIFE my students are very keen and interested studying. They wanted to study PSYCHOLOGY I am flattered and so HAPPY. And posted as unlike simple articles very Advanced Topics. And now back to my usual Life topics I thought of writing about Mentoring 🙂

WHAT IS MENTORING?
Mentoring is a developmental relationship where a more experienced individual (mentor) provides guidance, support, and knowledge to a less experienced individual (mentee) to foster their personal and professional growth.

Definition and Purpose

Types of Mentoring

Mentoring can take various forms, including: One-on-One Mentoring: The traditional model where one mentor works with one mentee.
Group Mentoring: One or several mentors work with a group of mentees, often used in educational settings.
Peer Mentoring: Individuals at similar levels support each other, sharing experiences and advice.
Distance or E-Mentoring: Mentoring relationships conducted online, allowing for flexibility and broader reach.

Reverse Mentoring: A junior employee mentors a senior professional, often to share new skills or perspectives.

Benefits of Mentoring

Mentoring provides numerous benefits, including:
Professional Development: Helps mentees acquire new skills and knowledge relevant to their careers.
Networking Opportunities: Mentors can introduce mentees to valuable contacts within their industry.

WHAT IS A MENTOR?

A mentor is someone with valuable experience and knowledge who offers guidance and support. In mentoring programs, mentors are not just advisers; they are guides that help promote professional growth and skill development within the company. They share insights and are able to open doors that might otherwise remain closed to a mentee. A mentor’s role is diverse, and often extends beyond simple advice-giving. They may perform various mentoring functions, sometimes acting as a coach, a connector, or even a challenger, to help their mentees reach their full potential. It’s not unusual for a mentee to have more than one mentor, as each can provide unique, invaluable perspectives and expertise

WHAT IS A MENTEE?

A mentee is someone who is eager to grow, learn, and develop professionally or personally, and who engages with a mentor for this purpose. They are not passive recipients of a mentor’s wisdom, but rather active participants in their own development journey. The mentee’s role is to be open, curious, and ready to transform the knowledge and advice they receive into meaningful progress in their career or personal life.

HOW DOES MENTORING DIFFER FROM COACHING?

Coaching in a business environment is primarily focused on assisting people with their current performance to “get them fit” for either their current role or their next position. Mentoring, however, is a learning relationship, and is generally focused on long term career development. The primary purpose is to drive personal growth, building skills, knowledge, and understanding. Mentors may use coaching skills in their conversations, but typically the mentor role is wider than that of a coach and may include opening doors, making connections and sharing experiences

WHEN TO USE MENTORING

Many organizations have found that a strong mentor-mentee program means staff are more likely to interact with and retain the information they are being taught. choosing the right application for mentoring, it has been found to be particularly appropriate for increasing employee retention facilitating cultural shifts, and encouraging organizational diversity explores). It is often used to support talent programs, so that participants get the most they can from their involvement by using a mentor to help them embed learning. Mentoring can also be used to encourage ethical behaviour within an organization when compared against other possible Learning & Development program areas.

HOW TO FIND A MENTOR

Identifying the Right Mentor

Finding the right mentor is a key step in your professional journey. Start by identifying what you want to achieve in your career or personal development. This clarity helps in pinpointing the kind of mentor who can guide you effectively. Look for someone whose expertise aligns with your goals and who exhibits qualities that resonate with your values.

INITIATING THE RELATIONSHIP

Once you’ve identified a potential mentor, approach them with respect and clarity. Express your admiration for their work and explain why you believe they would be a great mentor. Be specific about what you’re hoping to learn and how you think they can help. Remember, mentoring is a two-way street. Be open to feedback and willing to invest time and effort into the relationship. It’s also important to respect their time and boundaries, as mentors often juggle their own responsibilities alongside mentoring.

SETTING EFFECTIVE MENTORING GOALS
Setting clear and achievable goals in your mentoring course not only guides the mentoring relationship, but also ensures that it aligns with the broader objectives of your organization. So, how do we define these goals? It begins with understanding what both the mentor and mentee aim to achieve. This could range from professional development to mastering specific skills.

In formal mentoring programs, goals are what keeps the relationship focused and meaningful. For example, if a mentee aims to improve leadership skills, the mentor’s role is to provide guidance and opportunities to develop these skills. It’s not just about one-on-one interactions, however; sometimes, group mentoring can be involved, which allows the mentee to learn from multiple mentors. This approach broadens the mentee’s learning horizon by offering diverse perspectives and experiences.
The beauty of mentoring lies in its flexibility. Whether it’s about career progression, skill enhancement, or personal growth, goals can be tailored to fit each unique mentoring relationship. By ensuring these goals resonate with your organisation’s vision, mentoring can become a powerful tool that fosters a culture of continuous learning and development.
