Psychological Counselling Process
An initial consultation call is done by an expert to understand the issue faced by the beneficiary. The consultation call may be done directly with the beneficiary or with a concerned friend/family member.
The beneficiary is connected to a professional psychologist based on the technique of buddy-pairing. The beneficiary is given the choice of an anonymous session, audio call session, video call session, in-person session; depending on the problem.
Online sessions may be booked by covering the expenses of the psychologist. Those who are underprivileged may be provided counseling for free depending on the available resources.
Why is it important to speak out?
Due to social pressure, we often follow what’s scientifically called “toxic positivity”. We dress nicely, go out and smile, trying to hide what’s burning us from inside. But while faking to the world, we also fake to ourselves, and keep ignoring the underlying toxicity. It’s like closing our eyes to reality and getting stuck inside a suffocating bag.
What follows is unhealthy eating habits, irregular sleep, frustration, loss of self-confidence, and many other forms of mental illness.
If you feel your life is going beyond your control, or that the behavior of someone you love is not progressive, it’s time to connect them with Iskcon Gurugram.
Bhagawat Gita - The guiding force for numerous Psychologists
Arjuna’s hands were trembling, his throat was choking up, and he was getting goosebumps. He was not able to carry out his prescribed duty, even though he was physically and intellectually capable. This is clinically called a mental disorder – where the mind plays so strongly with someone that it affects their day-to-day duties.
At this time, Krishna lovingly encourages him, and talks like a friend. Later, when Arjuna becomes mindful, he accepts Krishna as spiritual master and fights towards victory.
Buddy-pairing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy are some of the techniques which can be deduced from dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna. There are 100s of research paper published in this matter; few are listed below:
