Therapists in Peterborough, ON
Are you anxious or overcome with worry? Are you so overwhelmed with life’s challenges that you have no energy or feel disconnected from friends, family or even yourself? We all struggle to cope with the demands of daily life, but sometimes we can feel trapped and lose sight of our own sense of well-being and happiness. This stress may be caused by events we are experiencing now or events we have experienced in our past. The effect of these experiences may keep us from being our authentic selves, moving forward towards our goals, and realizing our hopes and dreams for a better life.

Accepting a limited number of new clients - Sometimes in life, we find ourselves feeling worn down. This is normal. Life is demanding, and as we grow, so do our responsibilities. The struggle is when we don't find a balance to life's demands. When we lose that balance, it can be easy to forget what joy, peace, or fulfillment feels like. Our balance can be disrupted by a job that feels uninspiring, a relationship that feels disconnected, or maybe we've lost someone or something important to us. For many of us, when our balance is compromised, we can experience feelings of anxiety, frustration, and or depression.

Living a life where you're dealing with anxiety alongside symptoms of obsessions and compulsions can be quite scary. Navigating these experiences can become less intimidating when we gain an understanding of what we're going through and we have the support to take deliberate steps towards addressing it. There may be instances where those in your life don't fully understand what you are going through, leading you to keep your intrusive thoughts and compulsive urges to yourself. It's important to know that you're not alone, as these symptoms are more common than you might realize.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.
