Dear K,
First, you need to make sure that your problem is not just reading. We provide training to focus on reading. But that is only for reading difficulties. Thillai Senthilprabhu and Guru Soundar provide training or general attention.
Today’s environment presents us with severe distractions from all directions. The social structure that surrounds us is designed like that. News, advertisements, entertainment, and media all combine to distract our attention. We are unable to concentrate anywhere. The situation among young children is getting worse and worse. Mothers give their children cell phones when they are infants and make them unable to pay attention to anything. The Internet and social media are addictive like drugs. News and videos constantly captivate us. Politicians stimulate our appetites. Businessmen arouse our desires. As a result, we are always in a state of turmoil. This is going to the extent of becoming a social mental illness.
So your situation is what’s commonly seen today. The mindfulness training conducted by Thillai Senthilprabhu and Soundar are helpful for that. Because they have been developed through systematic studies and continuous improvements. But it is for those who are naturally a little distracted. If you try a little, you can recover through these exercises. If your mind is under your control, those classes only provide ways to train it completely.
Very rarely, some serious conditions require proper treatment from a psychologist. If you cannot pay attention even when someone is talking directly towards you, then you need medical help. You can consult a proper psychologist. These exercises will not help you and sometimes may even work negatively. They can increase your imagination and distract you.
When you say psychological counseling, you should not think of it as something special. It is a very simple, ordinary treatment. Sometimes it is just advice. The psychologist will observe you and give you some advice; that’s all. It doesn’t mean you’re ‘abnormal.’. I’m saying this so that we don’t complicate something that can be fixed with a little advice.
