How can therapy help?
Building Awareness
Therapy can assist in developing your awareness of habitual and sometimes unconscious patterns and behaviours, allowing you to notice what does and does not support you in your life. Awareness is the first step in our ability to respond to, or make changes to, our ways of being. It allows us to observe and participate more fully in our lives. In a non-judgmental environment, therapy can guide you towards deeper understanding of what expands your potential and what limits you, empowering you with more agency.
Cultivating Skills
Therapy can equip you with tools and skills for; anxiety, stress relief, navigating change, accessing rest, creativity, and rejuvenation, understanding your nervous system, building resilience in the face of challenge, engaging your curiosity, joy, purpose and more.
Being in Relationship
Engaging in a safe and genuine therapeutic relationship offers the foundation from which you can navigate trust; understand, respect, and communicate your boundaries; and learn to share vulnerabilities safely. The therapeutic relationship can support the healing of interpersonal, developmental and attachment wounds. Research indicates that the therapeutic relationship is one of the key factors in the success of therapy.
Nurturance
Therapy allows you a designated time and space to be present with yourself and your needs, to tend to any parts of your life that might be feeling sticky, uncomfortable, in need of attention, or to just be heard and held. Allowing ourselves deliberate time to connect and reflect can develop our self-worth and personal meaning making.
