Stop doubting constantly with the help of a psychologist
Stop doubting constantly with the help of a psychologist
Doing psychotherapy to stop doubting is one of the most common reasons for meeting a psychologist, in Paris 9 or elsewhere.
Indeed, excessive doubt is particularly disabling and restrictive for those who cannot help dwelling: it prevents them from moving forward, it prevents them from existing!
Also, if stopping constantly doubting can become a priority, especially when compulsive doubts have been preventing us from moving forward for years, we must start by making a distinction between doubt and excessive doubt.
The link between doubt and obsession
To this day, doubt is still too often confused with the obsession that resembles it: obsession-doubt.
However, if the first allows you to be measured and temperate in your decisions, the second can, on the contrary, lead to never making a decision or even to making bad decisions.
Procrastination, inability to choose, tendency to scatter and keep busy, etc... The effects of obsession-doubt are particularly penalising, both in the professional sphere and in the personal sphere.
Thus, by constantly doubting, a person can literally go against their professional and emotional life.
It is therefore important to clearly differentiate doubt from obsession-doubt which can resemble it because if the first allows us to ask the right questions to move forward, to pull ourselves upwards, the second leads on the contrary to constantly doubting . of one's own value, to denigrate oneself, and ultimately, to drag oneself down.
Thus, doing psychotherapy to stop constantly doubting can become particularly urgent, both for the person who suffers from his obsession and for those around him who suffer from his oscillations and indecisions.
Moreover, it is not uncommon for those who suffer from their obsession-doubt to minimise their obsession and consider them as simple doubts, as if it were normal to “question everything”.
Now this confusion between doubt and obsession-doubt is not without consequences, both for the being who ignores his disorder and for those around him: and for good reason, beyond the paralysis and the dispersion that excessive doubt generates, it also produces a form of unhealthy susceptibility which can become a real tyranny.
Also, obsession-doubt cannot be confused with doubt which allows us to be measured and move forward. It is a psychological symptom which produces suffering and which can be treated through psychotherapy.
By speaking freely about his thoughts with a psychoanalyst, whether a psychiatrist or a trained
psychologist, the patient will be able to discover what this tendency to question everything implies and thus, he will be able to stop doubting constantly.
