Personality Disorders Therapists in Kitchener, ON
Coming to therapy is not an easy decision to make for some of us. One wonders if one's problems are "big" enough. Diagnostically some of these issues might be depression, unexplained anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, personality disorder, bipolar disorder and the like. On the inside it might look & feel like identity related issues, a sense of feeling "stuck", feeling of emptiness, difficulty in relationships, feeling not in control of oneself. At times it seems what creates an emotional upheaval is something that happens on the outside, like losing a job, moving to another country or loss of a loved one.

Life isn't always easy. It is full of stressors big and small. Some are predictable. Others are totally unexpected. And some are cumulative in that we don't even know that we are being impacted until that day that we hit the wall and find that we just aren't functioning the way we want. We try everything we know to get through tough times, to change how we are feeling, acting, and thinking, but sometimes we need a little extra help.

Feeling trapped by anxious or obsessive thoughts, consumed by negative self-talk, and having these thoughts interfere with your relationships can lead to a vicious cycle of shame and emotional pain. This is a cycle that I know. Through the lens of attachment theory, exploring attachment wounds and patterns becomes a powerful tool for developing secure and supportive relationships, both within ourselves and with others.

You're branching out - maybe you've started school or moved away from home, and you begin to realize that not all families function like yours.... sound familiar? This 'aha' moment can bring about all sorts of confusion and hurt about the way that we were raised. At Everworth Counselling, I help young adults who grew up in chaotic homes, with emotionally immature parents, and/or with childhood trauma to better understand their upbringing, how it impacted them, and where to go from here.
