With all of the stress, sadness, frustration, loss and confusion of the last few months, many of us are finding ourselves feeling out of sorts. It would be weird if we weren’t! The question is… now what? How do we begin to heal and move forward from all of this? Individual counseling in St. Petersburg could be the answer.
Whether you’ve lost your job, lost a friend, or have lost yourself in the current state of the world, talking to a counselor can help ground you and find a way to start anew. Though things may seem dark and scary right now, it’s important to remember that we are still in the middle of chaos. Your feelings are normal. Your feelings are valid. You are not alone. Talking with a therapist can help break the pattern of negative thinking that you may be experiencing, and help you to focus on the positives that surely surround you. Individual counseling in St. Petersburg can also provide a supportive ear to listen and hear you in a time when socialization is limited. Quarantine and social distancing are anything but easy, and with the offering of online therapy, you can safely connect with a therapist in a private and confidential chat, while in the safety of your home and comfort of your favorite sweatpants. If you’re feeling anxious, stressed, or just plain lost in how to navigate this new way of living, seeking individual counseling can be the first step in healing.
Are you quarantining with your partner? If so, it’s possible that you’ve been finding it increasingly difficult to look past the small stuff. Maybe they’re talking a little too loud on their work call. Maybe they aren’t doing their dishes after finishing lunch. Maybe spending every second with them in the house isn’t as blissful as you thought it might be. Maybe your alone time during your daily commute to the office no longer seems like such a hassle. Again, this is all normal. These thoughts and feelings are okay. But maybe it’s time to introduce individual therapy into your life to help you refocus on the romantic connection and bring your attention back to the positives that you fell in love with in the beginning. Back to identifying all of the things you admire and appreciate about your partner. Spending too much time with the same person can be tough, especially when there’s compounded stress from a worldwide pandemic, but seeking therapy can provide the help you need to allow you to reconnect with your partner, strengthen your relationship and bring you back to a more peaceful place.
Distancing has been a major part of your life for the last few months. It may be time to begin venturing out again. Perhaps your anxiety around social situations is compounded by the current risks as well. How do you begin reintroducing yourself to the outside world again? Going food shopping, grabbing a bite to eat at your favorite local restaurant or stopping by a friend’s house are all things that your pre-pandemic self may have never second guessed. How do you begin to feel safe again as you slowly rejoin the world? Individual therapy can help in your journey back into the world, while allowing you to discuss your reservations and fears with someone who can understand and support you. Right now, everyone is trying to figure out how to move in this new world. We are here to help you.
Through individual and couples counseling we can not only learn how to move forward, but find peace with where we are right now. There’s no certain way to respond to all that’s been happening around us. Hey, most of us have never experienced something like this! But if you find yourself struggling to cope with these unfamiliar obstacles, now is the perfect time to seek counseling. Contact us today!
