Areas of Focus
-
Does anxiety hinder your social life, and ability to form new relationships?
Are you constantly worrying or predicting the worst case scenario in your head?
Do you feel a need to mentally prepare for conversations and interactions on repeat before seeing anyone or doing anything?
It can be challenging and sometimes even debilitating to go through everyday life carrying the weight of constant worrying and an overall sense of unease. Anxiety can feel like you’re constantly spiraling out of control and cannot turn off your brain. As a result, this can cause issues with sleep, relationships, school, work, self-esteem, and overall health and wellbeing.
-
Have you been waking up to feelings of dread or emptiness in the mornings?
Is your motivation so low lately that even the smallest responsibilities or tasks feel overwhelming?
Has it been difficult to reach out to friends and family members that you usually can turn to for support?
Do you feel like you’re going through the motions of your everyday life without finding meaning in any of it?
-
Are you struggling to move forward in your life due to feeling stuck in events from your past?
Do you notice fear-based responses to anything that reminds you of a previous experience, even if it’s not directly related?
Do you find yourself avoiding anything that may trigger intense emotions?
Do you feel disconnected from yourself at times, almost like you’re watching yourself from the outside?
If any of these questions resonate with you, it’s possible that you may be suffering from trauma. This is a completely normal response to an extremely distressing or painful event(s), whether it is personally experienced, witnessed, or acquired indirectly through a loved one.
-
Are major changes in your life contributing to increased anxiety or uncertainty about the future?
Has one decision or event drastically changed the course of your life, almost like the rug was pulled out from underneath your feet?
Do you feel like you’ve reached a fork in the road, uncertain what direction to move forward in?
Are you currently adjusting to a “new normal”?
-
Is your quality of life suffering due to chronic pain?
Do you notice that you’ve been withdrawing from attending events with friends and family?
Do you find yourself avoiding any movements, activities, and/or hobbies because of your pain?
Have you experienced negative thoughts about yourself, feelings of worthlessness or hopelessness because of your chronic pain?
-
Does work cause you stress?
Have you ever left work feeling angry, upset, or embarrassed due to harsh or unfair treatment from a co-worker or manager?
How about feeling overloaded with too many work demands and not enough time to complete them?
Do you spend a lot of your time daydreaming about quitting your job and working someplace else?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you likely have experienced workplace stressors. Due to the complex social dynamics and one’s reliance on work for financial reasons and livelihood, navigating workplace stressors can be especially tricky.
-
Are problems in your interpersonal relationships causing you to feel alone?
Has interpersonal conflict in your social network begun to negatively impact your quality of life and self-image?
Do you and a family member or friend have ongoing disagreements that feel incredibly frustrating, painful, and insurmountable?
Have you and a romantic partner been experiencing higher levels of conflict due to external stressors or life transitions?
-
Are you stressed and worry about your child?
Is your child struggling with school or relationship dynamics with family or friends?
Has your child shown or expressed a lack of motivation for school or other activities they once enjoyed? Maybe your child has even expressed increased feelings of anxiety, sadness, and hopelessness lately.
Are you wanting to learn how to better communicate with your child and for your child to learn how to better express their emotions and experience more positive experiences?
Are you wanting to help your child set strong boundaries with friends?
