The Modern World's Solace

Being in a bad place mentally is extremely difficult when going through it alone, however, the good thing about the modern world is it offers three main sources for solace:

  1. Psychiatric medicine
  2. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)
  3. Psychotherapy.

Psychiatric Medicine

When administered correctly, the medicine we get from our psychiatrist helps correct the chemical imbalances of our brain that help us get through our daily lives.

The side effects of these may range from nausea to sleepiness, but with it, we'd be able to function... more or less.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

These are psychiatric sessions that last around 6 to 10 hours where we learn techniques to argue rationally with our irrational mind.

Our internal persecutors like paranoia, low self-esteem, shame, and panic, will be tackled. We'll then be able to distinguish facts from irrational thoughts.

Psychotherapy

At a first glance, it seems like psychotherapy is not an option you'd like to get yourself involved in since it requires a large amount of your time, active engagement, and sustained emotional efforts.

However, psychotherapy is a great way to correct our self-ignorance in the most profound ways. It provides a safe space to let ourselves heal consciously.

Why Psychotherapy Works

  1. We are able to make our unconscious feelings become conscious. Since experiencing trauma we are unable to grasp what we truly long for. We learn here crucial ideas and feelings that come from our unconscious to be exposed and healed.
  2. Transference. Here we learn where our impulses come from and develop less self-defeating ways of interacting with people moving forward.
  3. It is most likely our first good relationship. The therapist is the first truly supportive and reliable person we've encountered.
