Celebrating Joys & Sorrows Equally
Disclaimer : These are observations made from counseling sessions and shared to create awareness towards supporting Mental Health.
As it predecessors will be remembered as years of acknowledging awareness while pausing, adapting and accessing the resources of better mental wellness. 2023 towards its end will be considered a year of balancing, believing and action towards improving wellness.
The Mental Health and Healthcare field has seen a surge in lifestyle adapting behavior on one end while more diagnosis and treatment towards lifestyle related diseases. The style of global living is changing but many are still grappling with war , lack of resources and the related mental strain that makes Mental Health even more crucial to be advocated and awareness spread around it. The role of a mental health professional can be found across industries and social settings that involve people interacting with each other.
So as individuals making career choices of being in The Mental Health industry or someone who is already a part of it , we need to celebrate our own joys and sorrows equally.
Many LinkedIn and other social media post accentuate what a mental health professional learns through the journey and evolves through the process. Taking the insights from my colleagues who have shared candidly about being a Mental Health professional in 2023 the Joys of which balance the Sorrows and I find myself with a checklist that can help everyone striving to improve their well-being at mind- body- spirit level.
This is created with interaction with professional colleagues , clients and passionate mental health advocates you have brought together this year for me as your psychologist to attempt Simplifying Wellness.
