Individual Therapy
Therapy is an ode to our shared experience.
Complexity, confusion, ambivalence…
Vulnerability, angst, tension…
Yearning, shame, secrecy…
We all have a common set of emotions and experiences… many of them painful.
It feels easier to avoid them.
So, that’s what people do. It’s what we’ve done for centuries.
But avoidance doesn’t work. It’s counterproductive. The longer a problem is avoided, the larger it grows.
It’s sort of like putting off teeth cleanings. Before you know it, you have a cavity. Or worse, you need a root canal! Now, it’s an emergency!
A revolution has taken place.
That absurd avoidance of mental health care is finally slipping into the past.
Society at large is finally seeing that this previously obscure, uncertain (even stigmatized) service is safe.
It’s more than safe. It’s healing… and it works. Oh, and by the way…
It’s backed by science and rigorous research.
For years, academics and professionals have dedicated themselves to refining, improving, and perfecting this service.
Just like dentistry, accounting, or nutrition, when you need help achieving a goal, you seek an expert: a dentist, accountant, or nutritionist!
When you feel lousy and want to improve your psychology, there are experts for that: therapists!
Why would you feel stigma, doubt, or weakness?
Deciding to start therapy is logical. Really… it’s common sense!
Take Mark*…
He feels anxious during the day at work… then gets home and loses his temper with his loved ones. It’s incredibly hard for him to figure out what causes the anxiety and the anger.
It’s even harder for him to think of a solution. And it’s hardest to take action!
He contacts a professional and explains the situation. A therapist helps him understand where it started, what the triggers are, and how to address it.
There’s no more hiding from it; it’s time to face it head-on.
There’s another reason you should go to a professional…
We all have biases and blind spots keeping us from understanding the quirks of our own mind.
Others can tell more about us after a five-minute meeting than we know about ourselves after 12 hours a day of self-examination!
Self-awareness is like being in a dark cave with writing on the walls… with only a small torch to see what is written.
A therapist can illuminate our inner worlds and point out biases, misconceptions, magnifications, and much more.
What are the results?
Feeling BETTER…
Improving relationships…
Being easier to be around…
Finding out who you are…
You’ve chosen the right path! You’re choosing an expert, meeting with them, and telling your story.
