Asking for help takes courage. It means acknowledging and accepting that there is a challenge that can no longer be resolved in isolation. At one point or another, we are all confronted with the unavoidable parts of life that are particularly difficult or painful. We will have experiences that can feel overwhelming and that will create the need for the benefit of additional resources & emotional/social support. Indeed these experiences are part of the price of the ticket to life.
The ability to reach out to others for help is instinctive, healthy and adaptive... though it's not always easy. It requires a willingness to look closely and honestly within ourselves and at our lives, assessing both our strengths and our limitations. Seeking the support of a trusted therapist can be a helpful tool while working through this vulnerability.
Personal therapy is a resource grounded in clinical research and science, while also attending to the emotional world that makes us human. Working with a therapist can enable you to better understand your emotional experiences, while also developing personal insight and building skills for resolving practical challenges.
Your time in therapy is an opportunity to have a consistent time & space to sort through your thoughts & feelings, to release difficult emotions and to facilitate the desired change that supports your well-being.
