  • If you’re like most people, you brought in the new year with a list of resolutions. And if you’re like most people, all of those resolutions have one goal: to better your life in some way. Whether that is through eating right, working out, learning a new language or decluttering your home office, resolutions are made to help us live our best lives.

    In all of these instances (health, weight loss, decluttering) therapy and coaching can help.

    You see, most people believe mental health counseling is something you seek when there is a major crisis; when we need help navigating depression or anxiety; when we’re going through a big transition, or when our marriage is on the verge of collapse.

    And while therapy can absolutely help with all of these scenarios, it offers numerous benefits you may not have thought of:

    Counseling Can Boost Physical Health

    Different therapy methods have been shown to improve different physical symptoms associated with stress. This includes a reduction in pain, migraines, digestive upset, healthier appetite, and improved sleep.

    Builds Self-Awareness

    Many of us think we are running our lives when really, our lives are being run by subconscious programming from early childhood and everyone else. Therapy helps clients understand where feelings, beliefs and behaviors really come from. Through treatment, individuals can become more self-aware and empowered to take responsibility for the lives they are creating. In this way, THEY create their lives instead of their lives being something that is happening TO them.

    Explore Hidden Desires

    Of course, self-awareness also means becoming aware of your passions and desires. Many people spend a majority of their life doing what others want instead of what THEY want. And many people simply don’t KNOW what they want in life.  Counseling can help you become an archeologist of sorts, digging into your heart, mind and soul to uncover what it is you value, love, desire, need and want.

    Coaching Helps You Reach Goals

    It’s the new year and we all have new goals that we are hoping to reach. Well, coaching can help you reach those goals! A trained therapist can help you set achievable goals as well as help you outline the micro steps you’ll need to take to get there. They can also then act as coach and cheerleader, supporting your efforts to reach your goals.

    Yes, therapy is something that you can turn to for depression, addiction, and help with your crumbling relationships. But therapy can help with so much more. If you’d like to explore treatment options in the new year, please get in touch with me.  We will work together to achieve your goals and craft a life you deserve.
