Growing up isn’t always easy…
And we often carry the remnants of those difficulties into our adult life.
It can be hard to cope, leaving us overwhelmed as we drift further away from what once brought us fulfillment and joy.
As despair and disconnection set in, our attention shifts…
We start focusing on what’s urgent rather than building the life we want and deserve.
Finding a port in the storm…
…isn’t easy!
Even if we’re lucky enough to have friends and family who listen to us, a pair of listening ears usually isn’t enough.
Plus, we seldom feel free to share EVERYTHING with family and friends. There are those things we’re not proud of… or ashamed of… or might offend the person listening to us.
Wouldn’t it be nice to talk about your thoughts and feelings without these worries?
Eking through a life of avoidance…
When stress overwhelms us, it’s hard to imagine getting out of the hole we’re in.
We retreat to safety, discounting opportunities or other valuable things in our life because we don’t want to face the flip side. For example, we might throw out love since the other side of it is hurt… or we might avoid getting close to others out of fear of rejection.
When we choose a life of avoidance, we keep drifting further away from our ideal life.
Therapy is a place to heal your soul while on earth.
It’s where you can tell your story, process unresolved feelings, and vent about life’s difficulties.
It might seem daunting to share your history with a therapist. There’s a lot to it, and it’s not always easy to put into words.
But with the right therapist, you can. Together, we’ll build a unique, trusting relationship. You’ll be in a safe environment, and you can tell me your experiences, thoughts, and feelings in confidence and without judgment. There’s nothing you can say to me that will scare me away!
Once we feel connected, you’ll have no trouble talking to me about anything. You can reveal yourself in layers, and we’ll shine a light on your repressed emotions. That will help you understand how your mind and behavior have shaped your life. That’s when you’ll begin to heal.
I am here to listen and guide you back to the part of you that has all the answers. Your inner self is always with you and remains unaffected by life’s hard knocks. Sometimes it takes silence to hear your inner being guiding you to where you are supposed to go.
Therapy is difficult, but seeing the results when you show up session after session is very fulfilling. It takes commitment, consistency, and investment to finish a course of therapy, but you can come out of it a changed person—someone who’s no longer afraid.
When you do the work, you’ll gain freedom from the prison of your mind!
You might think of therapy as a last resort…
It’s not such a bad thing if you do. Sometimes, we have to try several things to realize they’re not working.
Finally, you’re in the right place! Individual therapy is how you can rise above the noise and move into a life of fulfillment.
It is never too late to focus on what is essential and make a change. We’ll do it together… one habit at a time.
Don’t wait any longer. Give this gift to yourself!
