You are not broken. You are simply human.
When we struggle with life’s many challenges, and difficult realities, we can feel like there is something wrong with us. We tend to question ourselves rather than questioning what is happening to us.
“What is wrong with me?”
Do you find yourself wondering if something is wrong with you?
What if the answer to that question is “nothing”? What if nothing is ‘wrong’ with you? What if you are simply a person who is responding to the current realities of your life?
We often attempt to deal with the emotional pain we experience in ways that do not ultimately help us. We numb out through endless scrolling on social media, drinking, smoking, over working, or over functioning for others. In doing this we are trying to help ourselves avoid the yuckiness we are feeling.
Are you dealing with something that is causing you a lot of discomfort and distress? The loss of a loved one, a difficult relationship, feelings of anxiety or depression? The birth of a child? A job loss? The continued impacts of the pandemic?
A counsellor can help you
These difficult realities can be made easier with the support of a counsellor.
By talking together about your situation I can help you learn supportive ways of coping. I can teach you how to recognise, and understand your emotional experiences so that you can take the wisdom your emotions offer you and turn it into gold.
Your emotions are guides
Feelings of confusion, sadness, anger, and fear are great guides. You can learn to understand their messages and make changes to the way you think, what you believe about yourself and your situation, and the actions you take as a result.
You are an incredible human being and you deserve to be happy and fulfilled in your life no matter the difficulties you face
Your struggles are not your fault. Together we can talk about what has happened to you and figure out a way forward towards a life you love.
