Therapy can help:
|
What happens over and over again in your life?
What enslaves you?
What would you like to change?
|
|
Do you find yourself thinking... |
|
|
"Why do I do this every time?"
"Nothing
seems to change for me."
"I get in
the same kind of relationships every time."
|
} |
Therapy may help you understand more about
yourself and your relationships by looking at patterns
of behavior.
|
|
"I love my family, but every
time I get around them, I feel like a kid."
"I wish I could be more
assertive with people."
"I don't know how to
talk to people in social situations."
|
} |
Therapy
can provide a place to practice new behaviors, a kind of "rehearsal
for life." Potentially this can improve your ability to handle or
cope with family or other social interactions, feel more satisfied
in your relationships, and have more confidence and self-esteem. |
|
"I want my
life to have more meaning and purpose."
"I want to
say what I mean and mean what I say."
"I don't
know how to get what I want without feeling selfish or
guilty." |
} |
Therapy may
help you figure out what is
important to you, sort out your priorities, take action
towards dreams and goals. |
|
"I have a hard time relaxing
and letting go."
"Play? What's that? Too much work to be done and not
enough time!"
"I'm not the creative
sort..." |
} |
We live in a fast-paced, constantly
changing, multi-tasking society. Therapy can help you find more balance in your
life which may lead to more fulfillment, spontaneity and creativity. |
|
"My spouse
tells me I don't express my feelings. What is she/he
talking about? I say what I think all the time!"
"I'm a very
sensitive person. I feel things deeply. Sometimes
though, my feelings get in the way."
"I can't
stop thinking about things..." |
} |
Therapy can help you to develop the
tools to communicate more clearly. Learn to feel and express both your thoughts
and feelings in a way that is more helpful to yourself and others. |
|
"If I don't
take care of things myself, nothing will get done."
"I'm a
perfectionist, I know it - but isn't that a good thing?"
"If I just
try harder, surely it will work this time." |
} |
Therapy can assist you in
identifying behaviors which are limiting, help you learn different ways of
handling issues in your personal and professional life and increase your ability
to create and visualize more options for yourself. |
