Involving trusted others in problem solving
Some participants in the counsellor‐led format also mentioned the importance of involving trusted others (e.g. parents and siblings) in the problem‐solving process. The participants deemed this additional support to be useful for identifying solutions and overcoming barriers to implementing chosen strategies.I found it difficult to generate the options. Like, if I have generated a particular solution, I would ask my sister to tell me if that solution was right for my situation. I was not able to do it alone. However, a larger number of participants preferred to keep their experiences of problem‐solving private, as they were apprehensive of negative reactions and lack of support from others.Madam, what is the use of discussing this with someone else, for they will not understand it correctly and later make fun of it. So, I did not take anyone's help.
