Individual Therapy

Asking for help is foreign to you.

You’ve been pondering asking for help for a while. But before seeking help, you wanted to ensure that you did everything possible to figure things out independently.

Reviewing many self-help books and reading about how to alleviate your symptoms online failed to provide meaningful solutions.

You think to yourself, “Surely, I can figure this out. After all, I am the one who everyone comes to for help.” Problem-solving for others is your expertise, and you believe you can fix this situation without help. You are the professional who is offering solutions to others.

For many years, you have worked hard to present your best self to the world. The thought of revealing how you feel inside creates a sense of deep shame and disappointment.

Expressing how you feel seems foreign.

While growing up, nobody talked about feelings in your home. When you were irritable or angry, your parents often tried to silence you.

Your family focused on achievement, productivity, and learning how to be successful.

Although you want to talk about how you feel, you are unsure where to begin and wonder if therapy is for you.

Finding the right therapist is a challenge.

You comb through the therapists’ websites to determine which is right for you.

As you view the various websites, you wonder, “What will it be like working with one of these therapists? Will they judge me or be able to understand my pain?”

The thought of revealing your innermost feelings, the ones you hide so well from others, seems frightening. There is part of you that still feels ambivalent about getting help, making you wonder if there is something that you can try without going to a therapist.

It takes courage to reach out for help and admit that things are not perfect. I am happy that you are here. Individual therapy can be very challenging and rewarding. Still, it can assist you in getting more clarity about your emotional pain and finding tools to improve your life’s quality.
