Discovering Your Strength by Finding Your Balance
Finding Your Truth and Setting Boundaries
We all have bits of truth that we struggle to share. Maybe it is speaking up for ourselves, sharing how we feel in response to someone else's behaviors, or simply expressing our thoughts, feelings, and needs. Many of us have been taught to prioritize others' needs first, to be pleasant, and not to be too demanding. The issue arises when we forget to make room for ourselves; when we do not speak our truth, we often become irritable and start to resent the other person. Through individual therapy or family therapy, we can work together to take small steps toward finding your voice and building your confidence in communication. Additionally, coaching can provide valuable tools to navigate these challenges effectively.
Changing How You Respond to Stress
Stress is a natural part of life; we can't avoid it, but we can decide how to respond to the stress. When we have several tools in place, such as individual therapy, coaching, or family therapy, and we carve out bits of time for self-care, we can often catch our breath. This pause allows us to adjust our understanding and perception of why this stress is happening, which can be especially beneficial for those also exploring child therapy.
Understanding Your Behaviors
Our current behaviors can be driven by the experiences of our childhood and the messages we heard growing up. Through therapy, we can learn how the words and actions of those around us shaped our lives. We likely created scripts that guide our choices and behaviors today. In coaching sessions or therapy, we can work together to discover where those scripts came from, what they say, and decide if you still want them. Additionally, individual therapy can help you assess these influences and make conscious choices moving forward.
Finding Your Balance
Together we can work to find your voice, speak your truth, and begin to create balance in your life through individual therapy and coaching. You can learn to have courage in your communication, where you can own your feelings and responses and start speaking with clarity and honesty. By balancing your needs along with those you interact with, whether in family therapy or other settings, you will begin to find your strength.
