Your beliefs become your thoughts. Your thoughts become your words.
Your words become your actions. Your actions become your habits.
Your habits become your values. Your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi
Psychotherapy for Self-awareness and Healing
Psychotherapy involves a deeper and a longer look into the behaviors, thoughts and emotions. It is an understanding of where they are stemming from. They may be a result of unconditional learning from the behaviors of our primary care givers or may be a result of an unnourished and uncherished childhood. To complicate it further they may even be a result of uncontrollable events and unmet needs.
All in all, our personalities are often the sum total of the traits of our genes and the impressions of the environment that affected our formative years. When the emotions become muted for certain reasons or purposes, they express themselves in our day to day life in the form of behaviors like oozing septic ulcers. Behaviors may include use of substances, eating disorders, suicidal attempts, self- harm, dissociative behaviors, promiscuous behaviors, avoidance of relationships, viscous conflicts and chronic as well as persistent depression and anxiety. Of course, they all lead and add to our everyday stress. This further leads to a decline in our mental, emotional and physical states.
Psychotherapy helps people recognize those deteriorative patterns and learn skills to improve their quality of living. This is not merely a delve into the past. The process also involves a quest into the purpose of life, and spiritual growth. It is understanding the soul of living.
