We have all felt stuck at some point in our lives. Sometimes this is because we don’t know how to solve our problems. Sooner or later we may figure it out and move forward. But what happens when we can’t? Over time, it starts to weigh on our minds like baggage. We may find ways to distract ourselves, but we know it’s there. Eventually, we start to notice feeling things we haven’t felt before. We call that a symptom such as depression or anxiety. Symptoms are very disruptive and we usually don’t even know why our problems are causing them. Understanding the cause can be difficult and confusing. That’s why you and I will start there. Our problems usually have an origin. When we develop symptoms it means that we have been avoiding our problems, possibly for a really long time. So long in fact, that we may not remember what really caused them. We may not remember, but we still learned ways to avoid them. That’s why the next step is identifying the ways in which you avoid your problems. I know this sounds simple but old habits are hard to break. Changing them means doing things differently and that can be unsettling. However, I’ve been helping people resolve unwanted problems for over 15 years. The work we’ll do can help you feel confident that your problems don’t return. If you have questions, lets schedule a phone call to discuss them.
