An increasing number of Lithuanians are determined to attempt to create happiness or a minimum of a little bit much more comfortable life abroad. The factors each of us can be different - from higher profession chances to discovering a basic or marginal income. Yet the challenges we face in a foreign country are frequently more or less typical to everyone.
A few of one of the most typical problems when living abroad are:
Poor understanding of the regional language.
Discovering a task that matches your certifications, experience, expectations.
Knowing foreign customizeds as well as practices.
Difficulties in integrating into the area of that nation.
Cross country from member of the family, close friends remaining in home town.
Loss of roots, home, sense of the setting.
Identification problems with being a complete stranger. Discovering a place: no longer in Lithuania, yet still not in an international country. Where is my home, where do I really belong?
International nation's negative attitude towards Lithuanians.
Communicating with or staying clear of compatriots (abroad).
A lot more complicated than typical relationship troubles, and so on
. In an emigration, it is difficult to find that we can share these problems with, who we can talk to honestly. Even if we talk the language of a country, a professional because country will certainly not have the ability to fully understand every one of our issues because she or he was just born in a various culture. All those sensations we call Lithuanian identification consciousness specify to our nation. Online emotional counseling is a hassle-free method to access emotional assistance in your indigenous Lithuanian language, in the relaxing environment of your residence, regardless of where you are.
The Internet has currently become an integral part of contemporary human life. We are increasingly making use of the internet for job, shopping, looking for information, remaining in touch with our liked ones, or perhaps making new colleagues.
On the internet emotional counseling is swiftly acquiring appeal worldwide. Begun numerous decades back, this modern method of providing mental aid (on the internet consulting, internet theraphy, telehealth) is becoming a typical phenomenon, acknowledged also by the (previously unconvinced) authorities of world-famous psychology. However, it is reasonable that in Lithuania it is still a brand-new phenomenon, so it is not shocking that questions as well as conversations sometimes develop. I have actually been engaged in on the internet emotional counseling for 5 years currently and I am aware of all the benefits and drawbacks of this therapy.
On-line psychological counseling is appropriate when:
You do not have a psycho therapist in your location or live abroad (you can not get mental aid in your native tongue).
You need urgent psycho therapist appointment.
You have a busy work routine, you have youngsters.
You make every effort to remain anonymous. Privacy makes you really feel more secure - it's easier to discuss individual, delicate subjects.
The initial meeting with a psychologist is frightening. Skype lets you select exactly how to connect: created consultation, voice assessment, or voice chat with your web cam. This application is easy to use.
You are not mobile because of handicap, anxiety attack or way of living.
You have severe speech and/ or hearing problems.
You do not wish to be constrained by area or time. You can speak to a psycho therapist in the convenience of your very own house with your early morning coffee cup or on the move.
Normally, on the internet mental therapy likewise has its downsides:
Interaction in composing alone can decrease the restorative procedure since useful non-verbal info such as voice tone, body language, mimicry is not available.
Absence of eye contact. Usually you look at the face on the screen, but not straight at the electronic camera (generally on top of the screen). As a result, the gazes do not satisfy.
Possible unreliable internet link. Unanticipated disturbances in the call lead to wasted time re-establishing the connection (redialing) or duplicating what was not listened to.
I began speaking with Lithuanian emigrants online in Lithuania in 2010. Later, when I emigrated, I was confronted with a lot of the troubles pointed out above, fighting my very own inner struggles. For that reason, as a psychologist, I have a mutual understanding of those that approach me, and I can help to address the issues more effectively. I also recognize that short-term or long-term emigration can also be an excellent breeding place for personal growth. Obviously, without having to deal with on the internet mental counseling, it can be hard to make a decision if this kind of therapy is right for you. Consequently, I provide those interested a short (15-20 mins) totally free initial conference to discuss the appointment process itself and exactly how to work together.
