Why Should You Seek Therapy?

“Where do I even Start?” Is often what we say when life didn’t pan out the way we wanted and we don’t know how to handle it. Thats ok! We don’t always have to have it together. when we don’t, we can find a support system to guide us on the right track-however that may look like for you. Sometimes Some of our Family and Friends have many opinions on how you should think, feel, behave and it often feels like judgements because we are not up to others standards. Thats when therapy is super useful! Therapy provides an objective, non-judgemental, INDIVIDUALISTIC experience that allows for healing and RESILIENCY. Worried about what others may think? We stem from a culture in which seeking therapy is a taboo. “I have to be strong” “I can do this myself””What will people say?”If I go to Therapy, that means Im weak“”My life is private”…

Let’s just say it can go on and on. Speaking for all clinicians, it’s quite common to think all of the above. However, we are here to tell you: We know you are strong, We know you are capable to do it on your own, but why do you have to? Let us lift your challenges off your shoulders so that you can breath! Friends and Family do not have to know that you are in therapy or thinking of going to therapy. If they do that is great too! Seeking help is not a weakness as a matter of fact, its a strength and self-awareness that you know what you want in your life. You just need that extra support to get you to be the best person you want to be. I too come from a culture where therapy is a taboo. My culture’s moto: “Look, hear, and keep your mouth shut!” Let’s face it, often times we observe and listen to what what happens to us and around us for many years and it effects us emotionally and physically. Yet we don’t like to speak about it. Just think about it this way, it’s a snow-ball -effect that can hinder us in our daily life. Why should our partner suffer from our negative behavior? Why should our children be at the receiving end of our negative coping mechanisms? Why should our peer relationships suffer as a whole? Why should we continue suffering with no positive outlook to life? Therapy can change your lenses towards life. Let us help you swim underneath those high-tide waves instead of being trampled by them.
