ABSTRACT
Psychologists, educators, and counsellors often act as people who know where to go and what path is to be followed in order to appear healthy, happy, and free to the person who is in search of help, education, or guidance. As counsellors, therapists meet people every day and take care of problems in workplaces, family relationships, and educational environments. Z. Bauman, one of the greatest contemporary sociologists, coined this phrase. He uses the concept of liquidity to describe the velocity and rapidity that characterise the processes of social change. In the time of liquid modernity, in our postmodern era, being in a hurry and being ahead of others is what consumer society demands. Bauman suggests calling for a pause in this frenetic and spasmodic chase: a pause means acquiring a healthy, critical point of view of this pursuit of standardised happiness. Life is lived in uncertainty.
