When it comes to mental health, we have difficulty confronting the harsh reality of our thoughts and the things which are bothering us. A person who is stressed or is having anxiety cannot understand the reason behind it and hence anxiety attacks are mistaken as random emotional outbursts, or sleeping disorders are mistaken as overthinking.
Confronting these socially unacceptable feelings or impulses, can be frightening, shameful and as described by Jung, “defeat to the ego”. Even when people realize the outbursts or “random behavior” has become more often, seeking help is not easy. Talking to friends and family is not always helpful, as these could also be the reasons causing some amount of stress sub consciously. Everything around us starting from the family, career or social media can result in a lot of self conflict, self doubt and lack of confidence, which can end up making up us anxious.
Swallowing that bitter pill involves tolerating the anxiety and modifying one‘s self-image, relinquishing the old protective persona and creating a new, more appropriate perception of oneself and the world. This willing acceptance is very difficult, requiring courage, commitment, honesty and tenacity.
Eventually all of this makes it difficult for our brain to process our thoughts and make decisions such as where we want our career to head or are we ready for the next phase in our life?
This is where neurofeedback can help us, it helps in awareness and acceptance of what is going on in our mind.
