YOU ARE IMPORTANT! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!

Do I need counseling? Will it help me?

Why? Because you are important!

It takes courage. Making that first phone call may be difficult for you. If you feel tentative, know that you are making a pro-active choice for help most likely because you feel stuck.

Everyone goes through challenging situations in life, and while you may have successfully navigated through other difficulties you have faced, it is perfectly okay to seek extra support when you need it.

Whatever may be bothering you, keep in mind that you have strengths, more than you may know. Together we identify these strengths and how they help you.

The Huffington Post published a pertinent article that lists “8 Signs You Should See a Therapist”. Read it here:

Do any of those signs apply to you? Of course there are other reasons to seek help. The important thing to keep in mind is that you take care of you!

TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF

How important is your health? Our first thought is usually our physical health and we neglect to think that our emotional/psychological health and spiritual health are equally important. What is your complete health worth to you in the long term?

• What is the quality of your life? Is it worth more than a costly divorce, stress induced physical problems with the inevitable medications, time off work, or decreased productivity? Would you like increased happiness and contentment with life?

 

• Where do you place yourself in your daily interactions with family, friends, and work colleagues? Are you at the bottom of the list? Do you expect to take care of your relationships while not taking care of yourself?

 

• Tired of your old patterns of interactions and of feeling stuck and unbalanced? Therapy can enhance your life by learning new skills and behaviors, help you develop new positive perspectives to free you from old habits and patterns, define your strengths, promote self-esteem, self-awareness, and self-confidence, and much more. Therapists provide guidance and support throughout this process. 

 

• You are your own best investment! In caring for yourself, you are better equipped to face life challenges, relationships, work, and play. The benefits to you depend on how involved you are with taking care of yourself. What better investment can there be that provides benefits that you reap for a lifetime?
