The notion of “asking for help” or “going to a shrink” is often seen as quite embarrassing for many people, especially those of us who are self-sufficient; those who manage life fairly well and help others manage theirs. I question if this is a cultural belief that you should be able to take care of your emotional needs by yourself, and if yes, how relevant is this cultural belief to your current individual culture?
Почему-то самодостаточность не мешает нам ходить в парикмахерскую, когда нужно постричься, и мало кто из нас сам шьет себе одежду. Почему так? Потому что трудно увидеть собственный затылок, и потому что уроки домоводства не дали нам достаточно знаний и опыта для создания приемлемой деловой одежды. Тем не менее, мы твердо верим, что можем исправить свою эмоциональную жизнь, потому что прочитали несколько книг по самопомощи и изучали курс "Психология 101" в колледже.
Why are we so persistent in believing that we know ourselves best and we can fix ourselves? The main reason for this is that the first part of the above statement is true – we do know ourselves best. However, it is very difficult to “fix” our emotional lives without an objective person who is there to provide expertise, feedback, and help when necessary. We were not raised and shaped in a vacuum, so we need others to facilitate and sustain change in us as well. Д-р. Ирина Волынская
