Psychotherapy
Balancing work and social needs can create stress and chaos in your relationships. Living with chronic stress can have profound affects on your mind and body, and can even impair your spirit. If you've had a lot of stress or trauma in the past, your mind and body can become conditioned to expect bad things to happen in the present. Memories from highly stressful events are often stored in the body as your physiology continues to react to perceived danger long after the threat is gone. You may be more vulnerable to developing a stress reaction which can appear as overwhelming and uncomfortable emotions, body sensations, and thoughts. Your mind can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of rumination and judgment. Perhaps you have an overdeveloped inner critic which judges every decision you make. You may feel fatigued making it difficult to accomplish everyday tasks. These patterns can affect your sense of trust in yourself and the world and contribute to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness about life situations.
What is Wellness Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy (also known as counseling, talk therapy, or simply therapy) is a general term used to describe talking to a trained professional about conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to relationship conflicts and career frustrations. Wellness Therapy is an interpersonal, relational experience that provides a safe space to express personal thoughts, history, and struggles with an emphasis on how the mind and body effect each other.
