Thinking that I need help, we associate it with a symptom of weakness. When in reality it is the opposite, a sign of strength. Of bravery and courage. Of desire to improve.
It is a very difficult decision. Possibly one of the most difficult. When and how to take the step?
The instinct is always to think that by myself or myself I can find a solution to my problems without outside help.
In fact, thinking that I need help, we associate it with a symptom of weakness. When in reality it is the opposite, a sign of strength. Of bravery and courage. Of desire to improve.
The first step in finding help is being able to give it to yourself. Give yourself the opportunity.
Opportunity to manage a multitude of decisions in your life, perhaps in other ways that neither you nor those close to you can see.
Opportunity not to know. To do it wrong. To be clumsy or to investigate my way of functioning.
Opportunity to start listening perhaps a little less what I think and if a little more what I feel and need. Frequently what I need, which is what we usually least hear about.
The first step in finding help is offering to help yourself. To be able to give it to oneself. Give yourself the opportunity.
In fact, in a humanistic aid process, instead of being told what to do, the answers are yours. The point is to recognize that one alone cannot, in order to seek help.
The second and very important step is that money is not an excuse for not starting or abandoning the process you undertake. What is imperative to understand is that you need to improve more than a couple of sessions.

Also know that you can find different schools or approaches, or combinations of several, within the framework of psychological help.
In my case, first I found help in the theater as a therapeutic tool. And the theater led me to the Gestalt.
To explain it in a few words, if you decide to go for it, Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach to personal development. Implicitly, it is considered a philosophy of life.
Actually you have the answers. The point is to recognize that one alone cannot, in order to seek help.
His way of functioning tries to keep the experience in the present, in “the here and now.”
Instead of getting bogged down by something that happened in the past or worries you in the future, Gestalt invites you to connect with what is emerging in the present and to share how you feel in that moment.
The objective of it is for you to find self-support and tools so that you feel more free, responsible and empowered. May you have the resources to face the difficult situations that life brings.
Something very important is to appreciate yourself for who you are instead of crushing yourself. Look at yourself and your own path with empathy.
Curiously revisit your way of being, your fundamental beliefs, your capacity for self-criticism and everything that happens in the process of getting to know yourself better.
I hope this article has been of use to you. I wish you constancy and determination in your desire to grow as a person.
