Can You Help?

[Lilo]

Hi there,
My name is Leah and I am studying Psychology in Australia. I am doing an assignment on cultural safety and competence and was wondering if there is anything that would stop you from visiting a Western psychologist?

HI,

If you could elaborate on what a western psychologist does, it could make an answer easy. But , I dont think there is a problem in visiting a psychologist!
I sometimes think I could do with a bit of help :lol:



Islam is not a difficult way of life if one understands the purpose.

Hmm.... I live in the U.S. and I probably just think it depends on the psychologist. Kinda have to feel them out, you know? But seriously... I love going to counseling... nothing better than just plopping yourself down on a couch and being like, "So, you know what we're going to talk about today? ME!!!!" with no guilt, because that's what they're getting paid for! =P

Salaam,

The only thing that prevents most from going to counseling in the West is the insane costs. While mental health is one of the most important aspects of overall health it is not treated as such by the insurance companies. I find this very frustrating from a medical standpoint as doctors are forced to try and flub the paperwork so their patients can get the help they need.

A person with mental illness went to see a Western psychologist. After many sessions that psychologist cured his mental illness. Then that Western psychologist sent him the bill, his mental illness returned. :lol:
