Individual Therapy

Is your voice being kind to you?

What does your inner dialogue say to you? Is it more like, “I am so proud of myself today; I had a great day at work!” Or, is it, “Ugh, I’m so stupid, why didn’t I do more? I had such a bad day.”

Our inner dialogue is one aspect of how we treat ourselves when we are having a hard time in life.

During those times, everything around you feels negative because YOU think negatively. Nothing is going very well, and things seem to be falling apart in every aspect of life.

At this point, we learn to survive, get through the day, the next interaction, and conversation.

Our mind finds ways to cope – a way to survive. But living in a state of survival isn’t enough. Is it?

Think about that for a minute while I share a recent conversation with Elsa from our consultation.

Elsa’s* family life was less than perfect.

“I’ve been feeling withdrawn and down lately. I’m not satisfied with my familial relationships, and I feel like everyone is constantly judging me and their expectations are too high.

I’m struggling to connect with others at work. Although I genuinely enjoy my career, I feel like there is a disconnect with my co-workers. I don’t feel confident around them and don’t feel like I am good enough.

My life is about surviving rather than enjoying each day. The conflict with my family has me feeling down on myself, which makes it hard for me to enjoy anything. I want to feel good about myself, but I guess I don’t know how.”

I responded by suggesting that Elsa was having a difficult time setting boundaries with family around judgment and expectation. I expressed my understanding that she was feeling this way and just surviving.

Then, I encouraged Elsa that there is much more to life than being in survival mode.

Take control and live in authenticity toward a happier self.

Therapy can help you overcome feelings of anxiety, depression. Through therapy, you can work through the pain, anger, hurt, judgments, and much more.

We become too comfortable in our discomfort and think that is the way things are. You may not know either how to change the situation, or what to do about the situation.

Together in therapy, we can learn many healthy tools to help you cope, reframe negative thinking, implement positive self-talk, set healthy and realistic goals, and set boundaries with others.
