Should I Go To Therapy?
Is therapy for me?
If you are asking that question then most likely the answer is yes! For some of you, this means a few sessions to work through a specific stressor. For others, it may involve a lifetime of stress that needs to be heard and explored.
Even if you prioritize your physical health, do you also take the time to prioritize your emotional and psychological well-being?
Therapy can build self-awareness! Knowing ourselves can sometimes be challenging but it can be well worth the effort. You may find yourself stuck in the same patterns, and even though you don't like it, you don't know how to break free! Do you ever wonder why you react the way you do in certain situations? Therapy can help you build awareness into your life so you can begin to understand why you do the things you do.
Do you ever wonder why certain things make you so angry or why you have anxiety that keeps creeping in? Understanding how your thoughts are linked to your feelings and behaviour can begin to bring a sense of freedom to your life!
Other reasons to seek counselling include learning new coping strategies, gaining personal growth, receiving emotional support, improving communication in relationships, and reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. It can help you learn new ways to cope or remind you to prioritize strategies that have worked for you in the past.
Therapy creates space for you to slow down and determine what you want or don't want in your life. It provides an opportunity to reflect and discuss what really matters to you.
