What Stops Us From Being Happier?

When a student is not achieving as well as hoped, it’s common practice for that student to attend tuition classes to identify the gaps and learn strategies for improvement. In fact, low performance is quickly addressed in many aspects of life such as athletics, academics, finances and productivity. However, when we struggle with “living” and don’t achieve the desired results, people are far more reluctant to seek help.

Why is it that people are less likely to seek help in important areas of life like happiness, relationships, parenting and emotional wellbeing? Perhaps it’s the lack of objective criteria. Perhaps it’s because people see unhappiness and other issues as a sign of personal weakness. Combined, these factors lead many people to say, “I shouldn’t really complain since everyone thinks I have a good life. I don’t want to appear ungrateful when so many others have it so much worse.” This approach leaves people stuck with an issue, feeling guilty about having an issue, and reluctant talk about it.

Rather than continuing to live a life that feels suboptimal and where one feels guilty about saying they are not happy, it’s far better to seek professional help. Counsellors are trained to help clients feel at ease and comfortable discussing the issues that are troubling them. A counsellor will help a client explore and identify the specific problem and develop strategies for creating positive change. Many clients find that only a few counselling sessions can make a significant positive impact in their life.
