Seeking therapy is difficult. We may have overloaded friends in discussing our troubles. We may need an objective person to listen, understand. Sometimes old and new issues get entangled. A person may have experienced poor treatment in the past and have trust issues. Problems can improve when a person works with a supportive, caring therapist who feels safe and is not judgemental. A therapist can become a source of caring support. Identifying factors blocking the way forward is necessary to prioritize the interventions needed; that step be a relief. Change comes about through small steps and working on issues one at a time.
I work with young adults and families, if indicted. Some bright students find college difficult. The more rigorous demands may illuminate learning issues . Adult transitions (divorce, illness, job loss) may be complicated by earlier, unresolved stresses. I work with the affects of alcohol and addiction problems on adult children.
All people have difficulties and been "wounded" as we grow. Support and understanding of old ways we coped in our families is crucial. Coping methods often need to be expanded and new ones learned. Our old clothes do not fit; similarly, our coping strategies may need revising!
