GRATITUDE…

It helps.

- Reema Bansal Mehta

Life is a rollercoaster, and, most of us have considered counselling/therapy at some point. As a person who has practised counselling, I can easily say that given the scenario, most of us could not / did not opt for it. Though, some of us might be presently in the process of considering it, but, quite understandably, there are roadblocks like the taboo associated with seeking mental health services, choosing the right therapist, funds, keeping up regularly with the sessions, location of the counsellor’s office, so on and so forth.

Presently, every field is growing at such a rapid pace, with new products and ideas promising lifechanging results, that it’s difficult to choose and/or stick to anything. The same holds true for the realm of psychology. The study of behaviour has advanced by quantum leaps, and in fact, with the complexities of modern life, this growth is a necessity. Amidst this, there has arisen a ray of hope called ‘Gratitude Therapy’. The beauty of this self-explanatory concept lies in its ease of application. And the depth of human psyche where it brings about changes, is, tremendous.
