The Existence of Humanity and Personalities
In the article, “The Necessary and Sufficient Conditions of Therapeutic Personality Change” by Rogers, talks about the conditions that are key factors when a therapist talks to client in order to have a healthy personality change. The article begins by including the six factors between the relationships of the therapist and the client. First of the six conditions is that, “two of the people are in psychological contact” (Rogers, 1992) which means that the therapist and the clients are involved and speaking in a mental and emotional state by meeting, communicating and are in a professional relationship.

Therapeutic Laughter
I don't think I would've survived the years of abuse I went through if it wasn't for humor. Humor throughout the healing process is incredibly important. It not only lifts the spirits, it also helps with the physiological response of stress relief. One of the major symptoms of PTSD is hypervigilance. With hyper-vigilance comes the inability to calm oneself down because the body is reacting to what it perceives as stressful stimuli. Those with PTSD can live on-edge for months or even years without even realizing how stressed they actually are. This is why giving ourselves time to laugh is so important.

New Beginnings With Therapy
Since a few years, I am having therapy sessions. I have been through so many things, that I had to go into therapy. It is difficult to admit you're having trouble in doing thing you really wanted in your life, but was not able to do so.

Sarah’s Interrogation
I am gazing out at the water. My heart is pumping hard through my chest. The water rushing below me, digging away at the earth beneath my feet. Perhaps I should move from this decaying overhang; maybe I would like to be washed by the heavy current. The sky is fading, as if preparing for the credits to roll. Birds are singing, otters are sleeping; holding hands as to not get lost. Lost. There is a deer grazing nearby. The water is rushing under the overhang. The water is dark. It collects the dirt, prizing it from the land, pulling it into the seaweed growing meters beneath the murky surface. I am stepping back suddenly.

Adjusting to Mental Health Treatment Via Telehealth During the COVID-19 Pandemic
I’ve been seeing my counselor for three years. Every week. I have worked very hard with her to build a safe place in her office. A place outside of my everyday life that I can go to get away; a place dedicated to just me and the healing that I need to do for that one appointment slot each week.

What I learnt from Therapy
Therapy and counselling can be life-changing. (There is a difference between the two: in basic terms therapy is a more focused, goal-based treatment while counselling is more of a discussion.) However, it isn't easy. You can be left on waiting lists for free sessions for ages and not everyone can afford to go private. When you do receive treatment, it’s not a quick fix. You don't walk into the therapist's room one person and walk out after the first session another. You have to put effort into working out your mind. With this being said the advice from a therapist or counsellor can be invaluable.
