Achieving your own potential
Everyone can use a little help when life takes a sudden, unexpected turn. Professional therapy can help with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. The good news is that therapy can also help us in our daily lives by helping us understand our thoughts, moods, and behaviors.
Therapy can help you cope with emotions or situations, even if they aren’t life-changing. You don’t have to have a mental health diagnosis to benefit from therapy. Maybe you’d like to feel better about yourself. Or maybe you’re looking for ways to reach your full potential.
Therapy can teach you new ways to think about yourself and what’s holding you back. Even when things are going well, therapy can help. First, it can help you stop worrying so you can start enjoying the good things in your life.
Therapy can help you find yourself and your path. Talking to a professional allows you to understand how others perceive you. It helps you see your feelings and problems from a different perspective and provides insight into how those feelings affect your daily life or your relationships with family, friends, and coworkers. Therapy can help you get to know yourself better so you can discover where you want to be and how to get there.
Therapy can help you understand your problem—and then solve it. Many people seek therapy because they feel depressed, anxious, or angry all the time. Others may need help coping with a long-term illness that is interfering with their emotional or physical well-being. Some may be going through a divorce, grieving, facing an empty nest, or worried about paying their bills. Therapy takes a problem-solving approach that can help you get to the root of your problem so you can develop a strategy to help you move forward.
DO WHAT’S GOOD FOR YOU
You may think that only “crazy” or “disturbed” people need therapy. You may be nervous about working with a therapist. You may think that mental health issues are something to be ashamed of and not treated in the same way as physical illness. Or you may worry about what your family, friends, or neighbors will think.
Talking about your feelings is part of taking care of yourself. It means doing what’s good for you. In fact, research has shown that verbalizing your feelings can have significant long-term therapeutic effects on the brain.
