Do you feel stuck and unable to change no matter how
hard you try? Are you depressed, feeling anxiety, and experiencing
negative self-talk or stuck in negative relational patterns?
I use a cognitive therapy approach that is directive,
shorter term and will make you not just feel better but be better. I
will teach you a new way of thinking, and you will learn how to solve
your problems without ever needing help again.
Maybe you have been depressed or anxious or had
relationship problems for a long time. And this has become your
“normal” way of being; and you are kind of used to it. You have tried
everything you can to fix it without success. But you haven’t tried to
get help. With help, you can learn to think differently and change
yourself; and that’s the only thing you can change. But you will have
to be aware of one thing, cognitive emotive dissonance.
Cognitive emotive dissonance is
that strange, funny feeling we get in our gut, those strong emotions
that we feel anytime we do something, think something or feel
something that is contrary to what we are accustomed to feeling. It
feels strange, and that strange, funny feeling gives us the impression
that there was something wrong with it.
So you are going to have to think differently, and behave differently and stick with it long enough until it becomes your new way of being and feels right. And when you look back at your old ways, you will wonder why you were stuck there for so long. And you will be better, not just feel better.
