There are times in life when we feel that we have reached a crossroads and are stuck, unable to make a decision for action. Stagnating at that crossroads causes us a lot of mental distress and tension.
Moreover, we might wake up after living a big part of our lives unconsciously, carrying out our daily activities and relationship experiences in a mechanical way, according to ingrained family patterns and beliefs, without really knowing who we are and what we really want to do and where we want to go.
Sometimes it happens that we are not imbalanced but still we feel aware of the need to reconnect with ourselves and need accompaniment in this process, in a safe and contained space where we can re-learn about ourselves, reconnect to our essence and develop into the best version of ourselves.
Individual psychotherapy makes it easier for people to change certain dysfunctional or self-destructive behaviours for more effective and beneficial ones.
Some of the common situations in which clients choose to seek psychotherapy services are:
• the onset of depression or severe sadness
• phobias, anxiety or panic attacks
• intra-psychic tensions and conflicts arising from the contradiction between what a person wants to do and what they think they are expected to do
• unmanageable states of anxiety, worry
• sleep disturbances, eating disorders
• substance or behavioural addictions
• life situations in which we are vulnerable: divorce, bereavement, separation, job loss, pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum period
• low self-esteem, difficulty making decisions, inability to adapt to social or professional life
• traumatic experiences, domestic abuse and violence
• sexual disorders
• identity disorders
• relationship or communication difficulties
• fertility problems in couples
• the onset of a chronic or terminal illness
• the emergence of psychosomatic symptoms that lower the client’s quality of life or, in general, the overcoming of psychological crises.
