When people realize they aren’t alone but still feel disconnected from the people and things around them they care about- that’s when anxiety and depression pop up. I see this as the formation of event related traumatic distress, like COVID, relationships ending, or losing one’s job.
I enjoy helping people find a way to get back to themselves. Nothing needs to stop you- not depression, anxiety, bad love and relationships, distraction, procrastination, substance abuse- nothing will stand in your way if you are willing to be uncomfortable diving into this stuff and consistently working on it. Chopping it up, tossing it in the fire, and watching all that old junk you’ve been carrying smoke to the cosmos.
It is my practice philosophy that medication is an invaluable tool to help people live free from symptoms of distress. Good therapy+good medicine= better outcome, faster. It is your choice if you want to keep taking medications after your symptoms have improved.
You don’t need to do it alone. You’ve got to work on it and it is hard work. But it wouldn’t be worth doing if it was easy. But this is what it means to move on.
The values and principles that you live by will work and you will stand strong. You’ve got this!
Let’s get to work.
