Individual Psychotherapy
We often realize that some things that bother us are recurring throughout our lives, and we decide that we should do something about them. Some other times, we feel that the pain or the fear inside us is so great that it is intolerable. We may feel great anger that overwhelms us, anxiety that consumes us, weakness to continue fighting with the difficulties of life, to meet the demands of our work, or to take care of those who may need us. Some other times we may feel wronged, insulted, discouraged, isolated, or that no one understands us. All these are emotions and thoughts that we all experience as humans from time to time. They are part of our human nature, and they affect us all; it is just that everyone expresses and treats them in a different way.
According to the Cognitive Behavioral approach - CBT, the thoughts we have lead to equivalent emotions and body reactions that guide us to particular behaviors, which in turn, trigger new thoughts. The thoughts and the way we see ourselves, others, and the world, comprise a subjective reality that usually is far from the objective one. Our thoughts derive from our core beliefs which are what we have been taught or shown by our primary caregivers or those who were close to us during our childhood. Of course, they grew up in the same way too.
Cognitive Behavioral psychotherapy uses psychoeducation on the thoughts, emotions, body sensations, behaviors, and the strength we all have within us. It employs a wide range of techniques that soothe us when we are going through difficult times and help us better understand ourselves, our needs and those around us. It supports and empowers us while we develop cognitive, emotional and social skills which will endure for a lifetime. We are set free from the restricting beliefs and expectations of others which confine our emotional and cognitive evolution. In this way, CBT psychotherapy helps us find peace and harmony within us and take control of our life, the way we want it to be. Nevertheless, it is necessary for someone to make this decision to start this self-awareness journey. At “Happy People”, you will have the support, respect, and genuine interest from a specialized mental health counselor to guide you on your journey.
