MY JOURNEY IN PSYCHOLOGY: EMBRACING HEALING

Greetings everyone, I’m  Suhani Goel and  today ill walk you through my journey in psychology experiences in psychology.

I developed interest in the subject psychology when I reached the 11th grade because this is the exact circumstance whereby most of  the people uncapped their interests towards understanding and engaging with new subjects.

People though did have an interest in psychology but never had any sort of intentions or purposes behind them talking about how the mind works was deeply concerning in different ways.During all these years , mental health and psychology was not something about which conversations were done openly.

People i knew faced anxiety or depression, but no one ever attested to it. Encouragement for open discussion was nonexistent.

I would often ask myself: Why is so differently from physical health and treated with so much stigma? Why only consider asking for help when everything has already begun to unravel?

That curiosity became the driving force for my later determinations. I pursued a career in psychology, and later on, when I joined Amity University, Disorders ceased being mere concepts and began taking form in enabling accessible realities and day-to-day living and understanding them became imperative.

WORKING AS A PSYCHOLOGY INTERN

Working in the NGOs and working in hospital settings with observing various clients. They have guided individuals to cope with all variety of trauma, grief, and etc. Empathy is not sympathy for someone but understanding them on a deeper level.

I learned something interesting from each and every internships ive ever done. My experience of working with children from different communities has helped me to learn about how different surroundings effect mental well being.

I also learned that creativity is immensely helpful in revealing hidden emotions through observation of role-play therapy sessions. I discovered there truly isn’t any ‘one size fits all’ solution — every person has a unique experience when it comes to being helped which is the beauty of psychology.

 

MOTIVE OF MY WEBSITE

 

A safe place where people do not feel judged and are able freely think, educate themselves, reflect upon personal matters and obtain support will make mental health services more approachable as well as less frightening.

This is how my website began. It’s not only a random project for me but it’s a proper mission. With the help of this platform, I will make an initiative to destigmatize mental health discussions by giving it proper priority as same as the physical ailments.

Allow me to emphasize that seeking support on something you’re struggling with is quite noble and definitely NOT a sign of weakness.

SELF ASSESSMENT TOOLS

With variety of self-assessment tools, the users of my website can use important features with no issues. These tools will help the users to understand themselves and for self reflection and regulate self emotions and begin the process of self regulation . Self-assessment tools do not primarily replace therapy, but they act as a soruce of self acceptance and help the user to easily self introspect themselves so that they can encourage oneself to seek therapy

MY BLOGS

Storytelling forms another primary feature of my platform. In essence, stories have the power to change viewpoints more than anything else. Thus, I share snippets from my life: my thoughts during internships and moments of stress or doubt along with relevant insights.

While writing my blogs, I attempt to describe psychological concepts in a way that the average person finds relatable. be it discussing about attachment styles, anxiety management or establishing healthy boundaries, I put efforts towards making them humanistic and practical. Because I know how frustrating jargon can be when you require aid.

I comprehend that I am at the starting phase of this journey. But if even a single individual feels supported or better understood because of my content then I know I am heading in the correct direction.

To everyone reading this whether studying psychology, battling mental health issues or undergoing self-discovery, allow me to share this: your emotions are valid.

This marks the beginning of my endeavor in the journey of psychology. Allow me to introduce myself – I am Suhani Goel, aspiring to follow this path not only for personal growth but also so that others do understand and heal from past life experiences.
