Therapy as a guide

Have you ever found yourself in situations where you did everything right but outcome has not been successful?

Did you ever leave things unfinished just hoping that time will fix issues and no effort would be required on your side?

Is it that you prefer to tell stories about how unfair life is with you?

Might be that the real motivation was not the right one for you or that you have agreed to just please people around you by doing “the right thing” which was not at all the one appropriate for you.

Or it might be that your self esteem was so hurt that you were just looking for the proof that you are not worthy enough to get good things.

And this is how you learn to sabotage yourself, you begin to write scripts that follow the same patterns over and over again, in circles that just give you the feeling that there is not much to do about it.

Yet there is much in store to surprise you.

The world is so full of colors that you just need to allow yourself to see them. You just need to learn the way to be in contact with who you really are, what are your desires, what is the knowledge that defines you, which are the actions that are in your control to initiate and where to let rest take place in your life.

Once you begin to distinguish between nuances you are astonished of how black and white your draw of life has been so far.

The purpose of therapy is to support and guide you through your inner self, to see yourself, so that you may find the skills to design your own balance and to understand that as we get hurt in relationships we also heal in relationships. We just need to know first who we are in order to be able to express our needs, to set limits, to take space and to allow the others the same.

Relationships are present in our lives at work, at home, with friends, in different shapes and the way we position ourselves in each social interaction may bring us joy, sorrow, disappointment, give us a sense of belonging to a community, to a group.

Our body is telling us a lot of stories too and in therapy you will find the tools to listen to what your mind, emotions and body are trying to tell you so that you may integrate them and learn how to sooth yourself.

Whatever the dilemma might be you are facing we are here to guide you through your trip and create the best path for you to safely navigate through life and enjoy the journey.
