The Basics of Therapy
At one point or another, we are all likely to face difficulties in our lives that are seemingly too complicated to overcome by ourselves. This might be an isolated incident that we encounter, such as losing a job, which perhaps triggered a set of overwhelming emotions like self-doubt and shame that engulfs us. Or it might be a general sense of sadness and loss of motivation that seems to linger, no matter what we do, which makes it difficult to get out of bed each morning. When such a situation arises, seeking help from a therapist could be a great option; to not only solve present problems, but to also foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and our minds, which will enable us to be more competent in dealing with similar problems in the future.

Pitfalls of Your Mind
Throughout the day, we evaluate our experiences within the narratives our own mind creates. We respond and react to the events we encounter, often in the form of “This happened, hence I think/feel/act as such.” It is perhaps easier to pinpoint how our actions lead to certain consequences, but what we often miss is how our thoughts shape our experiences in the first place.
