When times are tough, we can get stuck in a challenging emotional state for months and certainly years. Experiencing the same type of problems in our life (financial, relational, lacking fulfillment, feeling judged, feeling attacked, loneliness, etc.) without being able to understand why can often give us a sense of hopelessness. Having had experienced depression, anxiety, irritability, ADHD, and various types of trauma, I can confidently tell you that there are some universal ways in which humans function that you can learn and use to strive towards a more fulfilling life experience.
I work with anyone over 15 years old dealing with stress, complex PTSD, trauma (abuse/neglect), depression, anxiety, anger issues, suicidal ideations, personality disorders, experiencing divorce/separation, and grief. Staying focused on your goals, I use evidence-based coping skills and in-depth tools (i.e. EMDR) to get to the root of the problem.
We are all whole people. None of us are broken and we never need to be “fixed.” As you deepen & broaden your awareness of yourself, you’ll find that you have all the capabilities you need to feel that more whole and fulfilled life that some part of you believes is possible. It’s healthy to seek out a nonjudgemental perspective of another to do this.
