Why Seeking a Professional Therapist and Journaling Is STRONGLY Advised?

Because They Will Hold, Respect And Protect Your Confidence!

Honestly, that is the entire article, but I will expand on that one sentence. Not everything that you have to say is for the ears of others. When you confide in others there is no guarantee that they will keep your confidence. Your pain, your experiences, your emotional, mental and physical health is something that should be handled by qualified people. Not everyone has the tools to help you with what you are going through. Since abuse of any kind is a platform that I'm very close to, it is something that I always refer to. Speaking about abuse is not a regular conversation. It has a completely different weight than say a conversation about that night you went to the club and you hooked up with that hot guy who bought you drinks. The things you say about someone who caused you pain, the anger you have from what you have suffered is not something for their ears until you have worked through what you are going through and then you can decide how best to have that discussion with them if at all.

When we share our pain with anyone other than a Professional Therapist, there are no guarantees that your confidence will be kept. Maybe that person doesn't understand why you are talking about it. How you handle your anger in the privacy of your home is not something that should be shared with the public unless you are using it to help others vent their anger. Do not allow fear to keep you from healing. Do not sit and suffer in silence. Talk about what you are going through, talk about how things have affected you. Don't be ashamed. Talking out your pain helps, however, you need to talk to qualified individuals. Only you can know if you need a Life Coach or a Therapist and in the event that you don't know, a Life Coach should be able to assess if they can serve you and if not they should be recommend if Therapy would be a better avenue. Adding Alternative Therapy such as dancing, painting, exercising and other forms of creativity to your Therapy regiment can also do wonders for your healing process.

If your confidence and trust has been violated, it may cause you to stop trusting people which will then prevent you from reaching out to qualified people who can really help you. Don't think that everyone is the same. A Therapist is bound by ethics to keep the confidence of their Clients, unless they feel that that Client is a danger to themselves or others. Outside of that you can vent out all your anger, your pain, your frustrations, your fears with your Therapist. He/She will provide a space that is understanding, kind, respectful and non-judgmental and they will help you to start creating a vision for a better and happier life so you can start living a passionate life. You won't have to worry about the Therapist going back to others to discuss you unless it is with other Doctors and even then, they may still need to obtain your permission and/or have you sign a waiver.

If you are not strong enough or not ready to seek out a Professional Therapist then I would suggest Journal writing. Write out your feelings, your anger and your toxic emotions in your Journal. That is a Journal that should not be shared with anyone except your Therapist and only if you are guided to do so. Your Journal is where you can totally vent out every nasty thing in your mind, every bit of toxic emotions that you have been holding in. Once again I will stress, YOUR PRIVATE JOURNAL IS FOR YOUR EYES ONLY! Why should you also not give your Journal to others to read? That is because they may not understand what you are going through, they may take offence to what you said or they may ridicule you for sharing your emotions.

Your Journal is for all the things that you have suppressed, the pain and anguish you have suffered as a result of external or internal events in your life and most importantly, your Journal won't judge you. You can get as nasty as you want in order to dig up all that stuck on anger out of you. You can vent out all the betrayal, all the expectations that were placed on your shoulders in your childhood, all the pain that you have endured as a result. Anger breaks apart depression. Anger will help you to stop being a doormat. Yes, anger is cleansing. However, if you feel that you are being overwhelmed by the anger, I would strongly suggest and recommend going to see a Therapist who can help you channel that anger more effectively.

Venting in your Journal or in your home are two ways of handling your anger towards someone or something that happened to you before you face that person again. You do not want to take out that amount of anger on that person face to face. That is why you should first sufficiently vent out the deep, vitriol anger in private and then you can face the person you are angry with. You may still have anger, but not the deep, vicious anger you had before. And if you realize that your anger towards that person is not subsiding then you need to remove yourself from that person so that you can deal with your anger in private on your own. You don't want to still be around anyone or any situation that is causing you to be angry. You will never heal and you will keep damaging yourself if you stay. Remove yourself from that situation and take the time to heal your life. And yes, venting out your anger is part of you healing your life. And this is where seeking a Professional Therapist comes in. He/She will honour your anger, they will understand it and they will never negate that anger. Not to mention, your sessions with either a Life Coach or a Therapist is private and confidential.

All in all, at the end of the day, your healing is what is most important. If someone heard what you said about them in private, they may think that you are being a hypocrite by talking to them and acting as if you did not say anything about them. The truth is your anger, your healing and your life is more important and you should not put aside or shut down your pain so that others won't feel offended. You may be able to apologize to the person and help them understand that it was your feelings that you were honouring in private. However, it may not go that way. It may cause you pain that you may need to release that person because they had meant so much to you, however, it is now necessary to release that relationship with love. If they need to be in your life at a later point then both of you will be able to honour the past with love and understanding while moving forward in the present.

Some relationships may never mend. Understand that it served its purpose, lessons were learned and healing was fostered by that relationship and now you can move forward in your Journey. Release that relationship with love and your blessings and abundance will be even more bountiful. Never hold on to what was not meant to be in your life forever. You block your blessings and abundance that way. Lovingly release everything that is moving away from you for the purpose has been served.
