We don’t always know how to sort out for ourselves the very normal and common problems that come along with being a human being such as feeling down, moody, tense, stressed, or distracted.
Perhaps you want to overcome loneliness, create more closeness in friendships, or build a stronger relationship with a significant other. You may just be seeking to become a better you. Possibly you feel anxious, out-of-sorts, depressed, or stuck as you search for direction or goals. It may be there has been a conflict, a crisis, a traumatic event, or a loss—past or present—which you would like to move through.
“The future is completely open and we are writing it moment to moment.”
– Pema Chodron –
Sometimes challenges like these and more become a lot to handle on our own. Therapy can help smooth the way.
Therapy can help build up and create more strengths within us. It can also help scale back or set aside the ways we have come to think, feel, and act that don’t serve us well.
