The Benefits of Therapy and Counseling
Therapy or counseling is a helpful process in deciding whether or not to end
a relationship. It is a process of self-discovery that can help people learn how
to deal more effectively with situations in their lives such as divorce,
addictions and domestic violence. This process helps people feel more
comfortable with themselves and with some of the tensions that come from
inside.

The therapy/counseling process helps people get "unstuck". Through the
development of insight and increased self awareness, people are able to
gain a better understanding of their own behavior and the issues, feelings
and events that motivate them. The most useful benefit of therapy is often an
improvement in health and well being. This often translates into increased
self-confidence, productivity and a greater sense of vitality and peace of
mind. People of any age can grow and profit from the experience of therapy.
There is no "wrong" time to begin.

The Issues that Bring People to Therapy and Counseling
Are:
  • A feeling that life could be more satisfying than it is, that one could feel
    better about oneself, feel less stressed, and more easily reach one's
    potential goals.

  • Wanting to feel more effective and comfortable in relationships,
    wanting to stop repeating the same problems with your partner or your
    children, parents, coworkers and friends. Wanting to communicate
    better and resolve conflicts more effectively.

  • Feeling stressed and anxious; having difficulties at work or school,
    problems concentrating or sleeping, fighting with family members, and
    experiencing failing health.

  • Coping with stressful life events such as a relationship breakup or
    divorce, a chronic or life threatening illness or death of a loved one.

  • Feeling as if life is too difficult to manage. Wanting to stop feeling
    trapped and victimized by one's past. Wanting to move beyond
    haunting memories of early experiences such as growing up in a family
    with addictions or being abused as a child or adolescent.

  • Wanting to gain greater insight into oneself. Wanting to discover why
    one behaves in certain ways and to learn why certain experiences
    trigger feelings that seem to come from nowhere.
