Your inner voice can at times be more like a beat on forever repeat, and just because you are thinking it doesn’t mean it is true
When setbacks and sorrow become too much
Bereavement and life upheavals, whether private or professional, can be good reasons to consider professional help, even though setbacks and sorrow is a natural part of life that with time often will pass or change shape. even without professional support. The same goes for periods of increased tension and anxiety or more permanently lowered mood or depression.
Equally relevant are more diffuse feelings of wanting to talk through some part of your life, your plans for the future or perhaps lack thereof; loneliness or emotional overload. It does not take mental illness or acute crisis to benefit from therapy or other professional support.
The line between the professional and the private is in this respect arbitrary. Whilst challenges can manifest themselves in one area of our life, it is only with a holistic and systemic view that the whole of a person can be understood. Or in plain English. To understand a person you have to look back, around and within, and in this there is no room for arbitrary boundaries.
For you?
People seek support in every arena of life. As a daughter, manager, parent, brother or grandparent. Facing divorce or a new job, serious illness in the family, wanting to start a family or deciding not to.
People come with intense memories or lacking them, knowing what they want or looking for an answer. It matters not. What matters is that you have made a choice to find out more about yourself and your world.
I will help you work on your critical thinking – not your critical thoughts – on exploring and expressing your feelings. Part of this will be hearing what people around you are actually saying and how you might make more sense of yourself and others, and express it. When no feeling is censured or left unanswered a new courage and faith in yourself will follow. The end result and aim of my work is for you to leave with the understanding of what self-help is for you and how you can help yourself to “bounce back”.
