What is happening to me?

What is happening to me? Why do I feel unable to find peace? Interacting with others, whether at school, in my relationships, or at work, often leaves me feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Finding the words to express my thoughts and emotions can feel nearly impossible. I may feel constantly on edge, uncertain of myself, and struggling to assert my needs or set boundaries. At times, the urge to withdraw and avoid my responsibilities grows stronger, and even spending time with friends can feel difficult. I feel stuck in this cycle and unsure of how to begin moving forward.

HUMAN NATURE

It is natural to experience a range of emotions throughout the day. However, when communication with our romantic partner, family members, friends, classmates, or coworkers breaks down due to unresolved conflicts, we may begin to feel uneasy and emotionally overwhelmed. At times, we may interpret others’ actions as rejection or feel deep grief over the loss of a special person in our lives. We may also struggle with decision-making, become caught in unhelpful patterns of thinking, and delay action until sadness feels paralyzing. Through support, reflection, and practical strategies, we can learn to recognize the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, challenge unhelpful patterns, and respond to life’s difficulties in more balanced ways. We can also practice accepting difficult feelings while working toward change, including changes in behavior, communication patterns, and attitude, helping us move forward with greater clarity, flexibility, and confidence.

LIFE EVENTS

You might be facing significant life changes, unexpected illnesses, dealing with aging, or coping with the loss of many friends. Perhaps you are adapting to a new environment and community, navigating a new relationship after divorce, or learning to be on your own after a breakup or a change in your military career. We all encounter situations that make us question our identity, how we interact with others, how we make decisions, and how we grieve, adapt, or resolve conflicts.

KEY ELEMENTS CRUCIAL

for

PERSONAL GROWTH and CONNECTIONS

______________________

  • FAMILY of ORIGIN

    • Identifying, studying, and understanding our family’s belief system, rules, roles, and interactions. Our knowledge of how to manage emotions and the behaviors we have practiced for years to adapt to constant changes provide us with valuable insights into how we interpret and perceive reality, as well as how we interact with others.

  • CONNECTIONS with SIGNIFICANT PEOPLE

    • These connections bring us a sense of who we are, a sense of belonging, and meaning to our existence. Building and maintaining strong, meaningful relationships with those who matter most to us enhances our understanding of ourselves and enriches our lives.

Therapeutic Process

THOUGHT PROCESS

In the therapeutic process, the relationship between client and counselor serves as the foundation for exploring and understanding incongruent thought processes and behaviors that might stem from distorted perceptions of reality. Together, they embark on a journey of co-creation, engaging in a dialogue aimed at unraveling the multi-faceted layers of the client's inner world.

THOUGHTS - EMOTIONS - BEHAVIORS

Central to this process is the acknowledgment that our interpretations of experiences shape our reality. However, these interpretations may not always align with objective reality, leading to a dissonance between THOUGH, EMOTIONS, and BEHAVIOR. Such incongruences can manifest in behaviors that seem perplexing or counterproductive, hindering personal growth and causing profound emotional distress.

FOCUS ON YOUR STRENGTHS

However, in the realm of therapy, there also exists a profound acknowledgment that within every individual lies a rich and potent inner world. This inner landscape is replete with an array of strengths, abilities, knowledge, innovative ideas, and solutions waiting to be discovered and harnessed. The therapeutic process serves as a conduit for exploring, nurturing, and ultimately utilizing these treasures in everyday life.

Creativa

DISCOVERING

Through open and empathetic communication, the client and counselor delve into the origins of these potent inner world and distorted perceptions, exploring past experiences, belief systems, and ingrained patterns of thinking. Together, they navigate through the labyrinth of the client's psyche, unraveling the threads of thoughts and emotions that contribute to their current state of being.

______________________________

INSIGHT

As the dialogue unfolds, the client gains insights into the underlying mechanisms driving their thoughts and behaviors. They begin to recognize how certain interpretations, rooted in past traumas or deeply ingrained beliefs, have perpetuated cycles of self-doubt, fear, or avoidance. Through the counselor's guidance and support, the client learns to challenge these distorted perceptions, gradually unraveling their grip on reality.

SAFE - NONJUDGMENTAL

Importantly, the therapeutic relationship provides a safe and non-judgmental space for the client to confront and explore their inner turmoil gradually gaining a sense of agency and empowerment. They learn to distinguish between objective reality and subjective interpretation, reclaiming control over their thoughts and behaviors.

GOAL

Ultimately, the goal of this co-created dialogue is to alleviate the client's emotional suffering and facilitate personal growth. By shedding light on the underlying causes of their distress, the client can begin to cultivate a greater sense of self-awareness and resilience.

THERAPEUTIC APPROACH Curiosity and Exploration

Armed with Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour (DBT), and Psychodramatic principles the individual cultivates a mindset of curiosity and exploration, encouraging individuals to continually seek out novel solutions and approaches to navigating life's complexities. Through collaboration with their therapist, clients refine their problem-solving skills, develop adaptive coping mechanisms, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves and their world.
