Stressful situations, difficult people, social injustice, and unmet needs all contribute to the intense flood of emotions that leaves people feeling anxious, depressed, angry, frightened and hopeless. When you learn about your personal mix of thoughts, feelings and behaviors, you can take charge of the overpowering emotions and self-defeating responses that accompany distress. Therapy is a solution-focused and collaborative activity that can help you:
- Build positive emotional experiences
- Develop distress tolerance
- Create a self-soothing plan
- Focus on the present moment
- Enhance your personal strengths
- Utilize social support networks
- Promote self-care
- Strengthen self-esteem
- Improve interpersonal effectiveness
- Reduce stress through relaxation
