Therapy is an incredibly useful tool that helps individuals understand their current struggles. Therapy works to connect the past to the present and create a context to our life challenges. Working with and being heard by a professional creates a space to understand choices, develop alternative solutions, enhance self-awareness and develop coping skills.
Beginning therapy truly speaks to the strength of the individual to ask for help when it is needed. People enter therapy for many reasons, including:
Feeling stuck in some areas in your life
Daily stressors
Relationship difficulties
Identity issues
Worry about some of your behaviors and choices
A wish for more meaning and connection
Communication issues with loved ones
Professional fears and concerns
Past or current painful life events or other events you may not have shared or processed fully
