They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways.

If you want to learn how to play cricket. If you get a champion who gives you a demonstration, shows you how to hold the bat, and throws a few spin balls at you, are you ready for Test cricket? Obviously, no. It is laborious hard work for months and years before you can perhaps even make it to your neighborhood cricket team. If you have been pulled down by a major illness, can yon take fruit juice and vitamin pills for three days, and expect to be bouncing back to full energy? The answer is obvious.

Why it is so time consuming to feel the change?
A counselor is not a problem solver. A counselor does not have a prescription pad to give medicine to be taken three times a day for three days and your mental fever will come down! A counselor also cannot interfere in your life and take decisions for you. Then you should you go to a counselor at all ?

How you can gain the most out of counselling ?
Counselling children and adolescents
Children may appear to be happy-go-lucky and carefree, but many of them are very sensitive to what is happening around them, and particularly to the actions of their parents. The parents' attitude and actions can build or destroy a child.

You owe it to yourself to have peace and contentment. Mental health is as important as physical health. If you are disturbed, distressed, or upset, life loses its charm and beauty. Many nice its charm and beauty. Nice things may be happening to you and around you, but you may lose the capacity to enjoy them. No one knows how long one's life is. We cannot add years to our life, but we can certainly add life to our years.
How you can Help Yourself
We all have ups and downs in life. Most of the time we can handle difficult situations by ourselves. Sometimes we cannot handle them alone, and we seek the help of family of friends. Sometimes we get unexpected help for strangers, and overcome the hurdles. In a few cases the problem just reduces, goes away, or we become tolerant towards it.

Counselling for trauma and setbacks
Counselling for Interpersonal Problems
Most of us have entered into marriage without any preparation. Sometimes our expectations are too high, or there could be misunderstandings. This could lead to a growing sense of isolation, monotony or drifting apart. Added to that is the fact that marriages are supposed to be made in heaven, and once married, we are supposed to live happily ever after. Whether you have a problem with each other, with your in-laws, or with any other outsider, it is important that husband and wife develop a good understanding, and that is what counseling will aim at.
Many of us carry a lot of baggage from our early years. Quite a few of our traits in adult life are a consequence of our programming in our childhood or adolescence. That is the reason why we cannot relate to many of our close associates as freely as we would like to. Many a time we are confounded when someone behaves very irrationally or with ulterior motives. We get very upset and make it a mission to bring about a change in the behavior of such a person. And most of the time we do not succeed.
If your little finger is cut, you can wash it in cold water, press something against it to stop the bleeding, and in a few minutes the problem is over. If you get a deep gash and hurt a vein or a bone,you better rush to the doctor instead of saying that, "time is the greatest healer". The same is true of emotional hurts. Some emotional setbacks just need time to heal. Some require us to move on with our day to day life, and they fade into the background.
