Can Therapy Help?
There are many reasons to consider therapy.
If any of the following resonate with you, psychotherapy may be of benefit to you.
- Repeated relationship problems and ongoing relationship dissatisfaction (e.g. frequent loss of friends and/or multiple romantic partners)
- Emotional dysregulation where you may feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, which may result in unexplained tearfulness, outbursts, or saying/ doing things you do not mean, especially in close relationships
- Long-standing low mood, feelings of worthlessness, hopelessness, guilt and/ or shame
- Issues with self-esteem and self-image, such as feeling ugly, disgusting and/or disliking yourself
- Physical pain or discomfort that does not have a medical explanation
- Engaging in behaviours that may cause you concern such as alcohol and drug use, self-injury, sexual promiscuity, over- or under-eating and over-working
- Changes in sexual arousal and satisfaction, such as a loss of libido or difficulty reaching orgasm
- Frequent dissociation where you feel out of touch with reality, and/ or experience feelings of emptiness
- Integration work post-psychdelic use
- Have undergone a course of short-term psychotherapy (such as CBT) and felt it to be relatively ineffective in addressing deeper areas
