Wondering about therapy?
While there can be a specific reason to seek therapy, it’s not always clear. At any age we can find ourselves out of our depth or in the midst of despair.
Perhaps you have got to a stage where you are wanting something to change, or you would like to feel differently. Perhaps something has happened to you and that event plays on your mind. Perhaps you have physical problems, but can’t find an explanation for your symptoms.
There are so many situations that are naturally stressful and/or overwhelming, yet many of us feel that they should be manageable and dealt with alone. Chances are you have understood that crying or finding things difficult shouldn’t be revealed; that you couldn’t possibly be upset because of your privilege; that misunderstanding or making mistakes needs to be shamefully concealed; that life has been so unbearably cruel that it couldn’t possibly be understood by another.
Yet, this lack of sharing and self-reliance can lead to feelings of loneliness, resentment and often to an increased need for food, alcohol, exercise, working, spending or screen devices as a source of comfort and retreat.
Whatever you are going through, I am confident you do have a valid reason to seek therapy. I therefore hope my website will help you to feel better informed about the therapy process and confident to get in touch.
