Therapist Overview
How often has someone asked you “how are you?” and your automatic response is “fine” but inside your head, you are listing all the times and ways you are not feeling fine? Societal norms keep us from actually sharing in that moment. We move on with our day but not forward. What keeps us from asking for help? Fear of appearing weak or stupid? Is it not knowing where to turn? Who to call? Or you have asked for help in the past, but it was a negative experience? Often times, individuals are not suffering from mental illness, per se, but would benefit in receiving counseling services for life issues like feeling sad or anxious. When symptoms are not addressed for whatever reason, our pattern of behavior risks becoming habitual. Thoughts of hopelessness and helplessness invade our mental space sucking energy out and leaving one to feel depleted and empty. It is time to change that up! Don’t let your thoughts and emotions control you; learn how to control your thoughts and emotions
