Dream of a free consultation

Dream of a free consultation

With the idea that I could have a free session with a psychotherapist, I started looking for something that could get me into a psychotherapy or counseling room without paying. Since in today's age everything from chicken milk to psychoanalysis sessions should be found on the Internet, I searched all the available sites with great enthusiasm to find a therapist who would guide me free of charge. On all pages, unlike sites that do clinical work in the field of psychology, I encountered miraculous advertisements. It was said that if counseling clinics are far from you or you do not have access to any professional therapist, call the number below. The first couple of numbers required a landline, and a few numbers said that I had to make an appointment and wait in line, but I was more eager to have a free consultant than I was tired of waiting in line. Staying in line but got no answer and dialed the next number which led me to something called text message where I can communicate with a counselor online via text message and find my way out of the dark into the light. . I was thinking about how to put my boiling feelings into words so that the online counseling sitting behind the system would show me the way, when I saw the option that I can witness the experiences of these text conversations with the counselor with one click on the link below. It was there that I crossed the ethical boundaries of treatment in the blink of an eye and clicked on the link to read other people's problems and professional solutions. Apart from the fact that the importance of therapy sessions is in the verbal expression of the client's suffering and the all-round communication that he creates with the psychoanalyst, this question occupied my mind that what could make us be ready to find a cure for mental pain. Let's reduce the depth of our mental sufferings to one or two sentences and find self-healing for deep wounds. Dear friend, don't compare yourself with others! You don't know about their life. Don't be jealous, write your goals and try to achieve them. All parents love their children. You just try to be yourself. Try to work on your intellectual development and work on strengthening your self-esteem Seeing these answers in addition to the advertisements that appeared on the side of these sites made me more sure than ever that there is no such thing as a free lunch! You may be wondering if there are no free counseling services anywhere in the world? I must say that in most countries these services are provided free of charge, but with proper design and infrastructure. In such a way that the support groups and charities that have categorized people according to their own rules organize group therapy sessions for the people they cover based on the needs of the people they support. These meetings do not mean that there are therapists or institutions that enter into a therapeutic relationship with the general public for the sake of God. Because all the people who are working in the psychotherapy environment know very well that free counseling can have a negative effect on the therapist and bring shame and sacrifice to the safe environment of therapy. Therefore, it can be concluded that the only way to provide psychotherapy services at a lower cost for the low-income group is to design group therapies that are planned and implemented by charitable institutions and foundations.
