6 Reasons Pre-marital Counselling is Crucial for Couples!

A study published in the Journal of Family Psychology reveals that couples who opt for pre-marital counselling experience higher levels of conjugal satisfaction than couples who don’t go for it. Moreover, these couples, experience a 30% drop in the possibility of divorce over a 5-year period.

Pre-marital counselling is a wise choice as it can help you and your partner to better understand the dynamics of your relationship and build the foundation of a happy future together.

A pre-marital counselling helps you with the following factors:-

Hygiene: Apart from stressing on the importance of personal health and hygiene, you would also hear a gynecologist, emphasizing on the significance of sexual hygiene for a problem-free married life. While preventing infections that may affect your reproductive system, maintaining sexual hygiene can also significantly elevate the overall hygiene levels of your entire body.

Sex: Pre-marital sex counselling is essential as it helps to fill in the gaps in your knowledge of sex. During your consultation with a gynecologist, you can expect to receive information about the male and female anatomy as well as about the actual act. Even thoughts like sex can be painful get addressed during the counselling.

Contraceptives: Counselling sessions with a gynecologist can also help you in getting your facts right about pregnancy. He or she could guide you on how to work out safe and unsafe days to have sex; talk to you about contraceptive methods; and best family planning practices.

Folic acid for pregnancy: During a counselling session, you can expect to be encouraged by a gynecologist to have Vitamin B (folic acid) before and during your pregnancy to avert birth defects in the brain and spinal cord of your potential offspring.  

Vaccines: Opting for a counselling session before marriage can help you to learn about vaccines that will protect you against cervical cancer (cancer of the cervix caused mainly by HPV- a virus) and rubella (a disease caused by the rubella virus, which can cause miscarriage, birth defects and stillbirth).

Medical investigations:

You should also expect investigations based on the following tests–

Complete blood count test: The aim of this test is to assess your overall health and identify a range of disorders such as anemia, leukemia, and infection to name a few.

Fasting/blood sugar test: The test is performed to diagnose diabetes.  A fasting blood glucose level of less than 100mg/dl is considered normal.

Thyroid stimulating hormone test: This test is taken to check for problems in the thyroid gland.

Rubella test: It is used to identify antibodies that are formed in the blood, as a result of immunization or the rubella infection.

HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography): The test is performed to determine Thalassemia.

Urine microscopy: The test helps in determining the condition of your urinary tract and kidney. It identifies injury, presence of disease or inflammation of these areas.

Did You Know That You May Be Suffering From Panic Disorder If You Have Panic Attacks!

A person visits the doctor if he/she is suffering from any illness. However, in case of any mental illness or condition, one either is not aware or ignores it. Many patients also opt for self-treatment measures which are not advisable.

Symptoms of a Panic Disorder:

It is difficult to recognize any mental illness, especially a panic disorder as most of the symptoms of a panic attack are similar to that of a heart attack. However, there are a few symptoms, which help people identify and differentiate between panic attack and heart attack.

Some of these are listed below:

1) Pounding of the heart

Stress is another primary reason behind these attacks and is common for those people who have recently joined college, a new workplace or are newly married. A panic attack can also be due to other physical or medical conditions.

How To Prevent & Fix Spine Problems !

The spine is the most influential part of the body. We need to know where our hip joint and knee joint are connected, most of us don’t think much about the spine until something goes wrong and back pain flares. People simply don’t know that they have spine joints 24 pairs of them and they need to be taken care of.

Here are a few tips for everyday techniques that could prevent & fix back problems:

1. Sit Up Straight

Poor posture can put your back out of whack and lead to pain. Align your ears over your shoulders. Pull back your shoulder blades, or “angel wings.” People with great posture usually have self-confidence in spades.

2. Heads Up

Keep your head up when you’re on your smart device. In a neutral position, an adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds. As the head tilts forward the forces on the spine begin to increase, and make the head effectively weigh 27 pounds at 15 degrees and 60 pounds at 60 degrees. So instead of bending your neck, look down at your device with your eyes. It’s good to stretch your neck, however, with bending and extension range-of-motion exercises: Bend your head forward, then extend it back. Turn left, then right; tilt left, then right. Do this a few times daily.

3. Breathe

Simply place your hands on your stomach and feel the movement as you inhale and exhale. Be conscious of breathing throughout the day, taking deep breaths. Deep breathing stimulates the spinal nerves.

4. Watch Your Diet

Calcium and vitamin D supplementation are important to spinal health. There is also evidence that Omega 3 and Vitamin B help nerve metabolism. Drink lots of water for spinal hydration.

5. Sleep Well

Sleeping on your side is best for your spine. Layer two pillows: a firmer one on the bottom and softer one on top. Your head should be in neutral-neither too high or low. A firm mattress with a soft pillow top is also a plus.

How to build rock steady relationship !

Relationships have often been compared to babies who need nursing and care to slowly mature into an embodiment with character and nature. It is on you and your partner to make your relationship grow and take the necessary steps in the right direction for spending a lifetime of bliss in each other’s presence.

5 tips to take your relationship to the next level:

Reality lies in the present: -

Often while walking on the path of life you stumble upon numerous instances all of which may not be pleasant, or in your favor. This could have happened to you or your partner. Do not judge him/her based on their past. People mature with time and mistakes often prove to be the best teachers. Rest assured that the person standing next to you is a wiser soul today.

Trust is a must: -

Trust works like a sealing factor in a relationship. Only when you start trusting a person fully, you can say that you are in love and you have accepted someone completely. Trust issues often make us apprehensive and gets us worked up over nothing and has the ability to turn something promising into ash. If there are any misunderstandings or any doubts, clear them out directly. There is no better alternative to clarity and a one to one approach. Doubt only makes things worse.

Violence In A Relationship- 5 Warning Signs You Need To Be Aware Of

Take a bird’s eye view on your fight: -

There is no relationship in this world devoid of conflicts and arguments. If your objective is to keep your relationship safe irrespective of its internal dynamics, you should think beyond your own interest and think about the two of you as one entity. Don’t put your conflicts on the backburner, instead look to resolve them at the earliest. You want to get through your day without the unsavory incident going on a loop in the back of your mind.

Expel expectations: -

Accept life as it comes. Expectations shall disappoint you in more than one level and it also becomes the most probable cause for a number of fights. You must learn to accept your partner as he/she is. Coming from different walks of life you are bound to have differences. Learn to admire the variety instead of trying to even out the disparities and this path shall just seem to be a bit easier.

Film-fling-flopped: -

Romance is not even close to what it is seen in films. 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' has set a sky-high false standard in our minds but surely being in love and dancing to no music (if you can recollect this scene where ‘Shah Rukh Khan’ and ‘Kajol’ dance to an imaginative piano tune in a forlorn gazebo) does not sound sane. Build your own unique romantic relationship. Find romance in practicality and in daily life. Unlike the reel life, love in real life is not all about glitz and glamour.

Psychotherapist explains why we dream, why analysis is important and how to start interpreting your dreams!

When people think about analyzing their dreams, they usually think of psychics with crystal balls, dream dictionaries, or lying on a bed and psychologist tells them precisely what their dreams connote. But dream analysis is actually a valuable way to better understand yourself.

Why We Dream: 

Dreaming is non-essential when it comes to survival as a body but it is essential with regard to our development and evolution as metaphysical beings,” according to Sumber,” who studied global dream mythology at Harvard University and Jungian dream interpretation at the Jung Institute in Zurich.

Dreaming is the communication between our conscious mind and our unconscious mind, helping people create wholeness, Dreams are the bridge that allows movement back and forth between what we think we know and what we really know.

Dreams let us play out painful or puzzling emotions or experiences in a safe place. Dreams also allow us to process information or events that may be painful or confusing in an environment that is at once emotionally real but physically unreal.

“Dream analysis is a key component in the process of becoming whole as a person,”. Dreams reveal a person’s “deepest desires and deepest wounds.” So, analyzing your dreams helps you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

How To Analyze Your Dreams:

One of the biggest myths about dream analysis is that there’s a set of stringent rules people need to follow. But every person is unique, so there are no formulas or prescriptions.

Dreams can only be understood in the larger context of the individual’s unfolding and self-discovery. However, there are several guidelines that can help you see your dreams more thoughtfully and dig deeper into their meaning.

Record your dreams:

This is the first and most important step in analyzing your dreams. “Taking notes, even a few sentences that encapsulate the dream, literally draws the content of the unconscious out into the realm of the concrete.”

Think you don’t dream or can’t remember your dreams?

He suggests simply keeping a journal by your bed, and writing “No dream to record” every morning. “Within two weeks of this process, the person will begin to remember their dreams.”

Identify how you were feeling in the dream:

For example, asking yourself: “Was I scared, angry, remorseful, etc.? Do I still feel those feelings the morning after? How comfortable am I feeling these feelings?”

C.G. Jung referred to dreams as “feeling-toned complex of ideas.” In other words, according to Sumber, “We are always being called by our unconscious self to feel into our ideas, thoughts and actions so as to gain a deeper sense of who we are and where we are going in our lives.”

Identify recurring thoughts in your dreams and daily life:

Examples of recurring thoughts: “They are going to kill me.” “I don’t understand.” Or “I’m not going to make it.” Next, ask yourself if you’ve had these thoughts throughout the day. If so, in what situations have you had these thoughts?

Consider all the elements of a dream:

You can show up in your dreams in various ways. Many times, “we can find ourselves, our personalities, in many elements of a dream, even if there is a clear distinction between us and another character in the dream.”

You can ask yourselves these questions, “What is it like to be the villain in the dream? What is it like to be the aggressor, or be passive?”

Put down the dream dictionaries:

You’ve probably come across dream dictionaries that feature specific meanings for objects.  while there may be some universal meaning for these symbols, the key is to figure out what the dream means to you.

“While there may be a trace of collective meaning for certain universal symbols that do have some bearing on our internal analysis and growth, We are far more interested in where the dreamer goes with the symbol and what the dreamer connects to as a result of the dream.”

So, even though there may be some universal elements, symbols have different meanings for different people. “We believe we are all unique and carry very personal histories that impact the symbols, objects, tastes and smells that we associate with a particular dream story or event.”

Lucid dreaming and self-realization:

A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware of dreaming. During lucid dreaming, the dreamer may be able to exert some degree of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment.

The term “lucid” means clear, lucid dreaming is more than just having a clear dream. To have a lucid dream you must know that it’s a dream while you’re dreaming. That’s it. It doesn’t require that you can control anything in your dream, though control is what beginning lucid dreamers often aim at. People get attracted to lucid dreaming because they want to be able to do things they could never do in waking reality.

For example: taste fire or fly to the sun or the interior of the earth or test your craziest science experiments on your worst enemies.

You can talk to your actual subconscious mind through a lucid dream. This lets you communicate with the inner level of consciousness that is almost always hidden beneath the surface. You can’t do this when you’re awake, because your subconscious mind is too powerful and too complex to even tap into but in a dream, you can. The best benefit about lucid dream is that you become the best version of yourself. You are spending your time in a good way whether you are awake or asleep. You are not wasting your time, and you are doing the things you want to do in your life. That’s worth any price.

Remember you’re the expert:

There are no experts other than yourself when it comes to your own psyche so don’t stop trusting your own inner guide to your unconscious.

Therapists need to place aside all of their information, tools and associations for universal symbols and dream interpretation with each new client and treat each person as a unique, new world to be discovered.

Why Pre-Marital Counseling Is Important Over Pre-Bridal, Pre-Wedding Shoot, Pre-Grooming Session etc !

In today’s time and pace of life, many men and women find getting married, a tough proposition. Even when they agree, each one has a different set of expectations which most of the time cannot be met by either of the partners.

Pre-Marital Counseling, a specialized type of therapy provided by marriage therapists, is believed to offer benefit to all couples who are considering a long-term commitment. Typically, the goal of premarital counseling is to identify and address any potential areas of conflict in a relationship early on, before those issues become serious concerns, and teach partners effective strategies for discussing and resolving conflict.

Partners seeking counseling before marriage may also find that premarital counseling can help them better understand their expectations about marriage and address any significant differences in a safe and neutral environment.

The first step in Pre marital counseling is to make would-be grooms & brides understand the importance of institution of marriage & prepare themselves mentally for the marriage. They should be willing to change themselves & accommodate their partners in their spaces- both mental & physical.

Once mentally prepared, next step be the selection of the suitable partner. More than the individual merits of the marrying partners, it is the compatibility between the two that needs to be assessed. It is often a difficult task, more so because at that point of time, would-be-spouses have the tendency to hide negative points & put their best-foot forwards. Latter becomes difficult to sustain all the time once they marry & live together.

Whether a love or an arranged marriage, or an arranged-cum-love marriage, it is not impossible to predict how partners are likely to relate with each other after marriage. Few of the many challenges that may catch them by surprise after marriage if they are not pre-prepared are whether they should honestly & completely share their pasts, how much personal spaces they ought to have within their shared space, how pleasing or irritating habits they perceive of each other, how are their respective values to various facets of life, what value they attach to institution of marriage etc. The career aspirations of spouses, the finances, the family ties, family obligations, bringing up of children, their schooling & careers, place of residence etc, are the factors which may make a happy married life if due attention to these concerns had not been paid, prior to getting married.

At Vishwas Healing Centre, we offers expert guidance and counseling help to both men and women, before they embark on this journey together so that they learn to view matters more maturely, make compromises more easily and make judicious choices.
