PSYCHOTHERAPY

Life has become a constant struggle.

As your eyes snap open in the morning, you shudder at the thought of having to get through the day.

It makes you want to pull your covers real tight over your head and hide from the world.

These feelings have been chasing you for a while now.

This is becoming a real problem.

You’ve done a pretty good job of going on with life and functioning despite those feelings.

But it’s getting harder and harder, and you’re beginning to dread life.

Speaking with your family and friends doesn’t make it any better.

They offer comfort and support, but it doesn’t feel like enough.

You read a self-help book and feel some relief, but then the feelings come back.

Now you’ve started contemplating going to therapy…

What is therapy? How will it help me?

When I was younger, I had little idea of what therapy was.

I thought that the client spoke about their problems, the therapist responded, and somehow in the talking the client would be “cured.”

MAGIC!

I could not have been more wrong or… right.

The magic really is in the talking.

Being able to share your story and have someone listen, clarify, and validate your story is an invaluable gift.

Many people feel much lighter no longer having to carry their burdens on their own and having gained new perspective or insight.

A big part of therapy is to help you understand what you’re struggling with and why you’re struggling with it.

“How is talking to a therapist different than talking to a friend?”

Talking to a therapist IS like talking to a friend but one that can ask insightful questions and help you navigate through the complicated parts of life.

Therapy is your safe space to talk about anything. It’s a place to verbalize your hopes and fears, your dreams and frustrations.

Whatever you’re going through, whatever you’re struggling with, it’s hard to go through it alone. When you’re stuck in a situation or mindset, it’s hard to see things differently or clearly.

The one thing that can change everything…

The clarity and new awareness that comes out of our work together will lead to better decision making and the capacity to make changes in your life.

Ultimately, therapy allows you to live life with more ease.

Give yourself the support to take decisive steps to a life you love.
