My stress and anxiety are a choice

I procrastinate.

I'm uncertain, I'm unsure.

I'm blocked, I'm avoiding, 

I'm overwhelmed, I'm worried.

I have conflicts at work.

I have a professional dilemma.

I have a moral dilemma.

I'm afraid to compete.

I'm falling behind.

I'm unorganized.

I'm missing deadlines.

I'm unmotivated.

We're struggling.

We need more income.

We aren't talking.

We hardly touch each other.

Co-worker.  Boss.

Friends.  Enemies.

Spouse.  Ex.  Sig'nother.

At work.  At school.  At Home.  

I need help.

Anxiety, anger, loneliness, and depression are feelings that everyone experiences.  

Can you handle it alone?  

Can talking to a friend or family member help?

Answer: Yes and Yes.  

Sometimes, though, you may need more.

When your emotions begin to dominate and interfere with how well you are functioning in your everyday life, it may be time for you to seek help.

Evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments have been shown to work for many people.  

Alfred Alder said everything we do relates to the Need for Belonging. Jung said,        "[We] cannot stand a meaningless life." What is your purpose in life? How do you belong? These are questions that matter.

Now you're ready.

There was a terrible car accident. In the backseat were twins. Fortunately, both survived. The first one comes out from the wreck and says, "I'm never going to ride in a car again. It's too dangerous." And he doesn't - from then on, he avoids riding in a car - he worries about death. 

The other twin exits the same crash and says, "I'm so lucky to be alive. I'm going to live every day to the fullest." One experiences RESILIENCE, the other experiences TRAUMA.

Your mind is still trying to make sense out of things that were so painful the images or memories replay over and over again. You find yourself stuck in a pattern of intrusive memories, negative emotions, and avoidant or aggressive behaviors.

You may have developed a set of coping skills and beliefs stemming from the trauma - but those ideas and behaviors are no longer helping you now. 

You feel trapped.

 Evidence-based psychotherapeutic treatments such as CBT and Insight Therapy have been shown to work for many people.  

It's time.
