Psychotherapy and Couples Counselling: A Toronto Therapist Perspective
Beginning therapy is a positive and extremely important step to better understanding and dealing with life's challenges. It is also a place for expanding the imagination and fostering deep healing. Therapy provides fresh perspectives and opportunities for new visions and success--for individuals and couples. Exploring your unique journey through life can open many new doors and promote true well-being.
These are some of the reasons individuals or couples seek support from a therapist:
• Anger and stress management
• Anxiety, depression, fear, low self-esteem
• Bereavement, sudden loss, unresolved grief
• Career changes-finding purpose and meaning or new directions
• Couples & Singles-infidelity, loss, healing the past, forgiveness
• Effects of childhood trauma-physical, sexual, or emotional abuse
• Financial challenges
• LGBTQ issues-healing from oppression or fear, building community
• General exploration, personal identity and self-development
• Mid-life questioning, preparing the second part of life
• Relationship problems-couple, family, parent-child
• Sexuality and sexual problems
• Spirituality and greater mindfulness
• Stressful changes in life, work, or family
• Success and joy-embarking on a quest, deciding on a new direction
Know that if you need support, help is always available. Many times people seek to be alone in times of trouble to tend to their wounds in solitude, but healing often times requires the support and help of others. It is in community with another person or others, that we begin to truly heal. With the support of a kind, compassionate, and experienced therapist, a couple or individual can begin the important journey toward healing. Though there are many things written about the stages of loss and grief, but each individual has a unique and personal journey that can not be predicted or completely understood while in the midst of difficulties.
