Counseling for Change
Invest in your relationship with yourself
The relationship with yourself is the most important relationship you will ever have! This is where we start; when we want change in our lives, we need to become our own ally and support system to help us get to where we want to go, as becoming aware of the blockages you have to building connection and community.
Here are some of the steps we will take together in your counseling with me:
Identify areas of challenge with compassion and willingness
Build awareness of old patterns and self-sabotaging behavior that keeps you stuck
Start to shift behaviors and cognitions and build tolerance for discomfort
Envision a life that you want to inhabit and initiate the steps needed to get there
Keep practicing! Making changes takes time and effort. There is no quick fix.
Learn Tools for self-growth
Management of expectations related to change
How to handle challenge and crisis
Manage your grief; process and understand your emotions
Set Goals
Learn to work with what you got!
Improve your relationship with others
Learning how to create healthy, lasting, reciprocal relationships and finding people who can support your self-growth and healing journey is a big part of wanting to make changes in our lives. It doesn’t have to be a huge community, but the people we surround ourselves with and have in our lives does impact so many areas of self, even starting out with building one or two connections based on the principles of secure attachment can be life-changing.
