After working for over ten years in the corporate world, I found myself unfulfilled, unhappy and unwilling to continue on the path I was on. Through a process of self-reflection and learning to understand my own behaviours, I decided to embark on a road to change. This meant a change in my way of being, both with myself and others; a change in my attitudes and beliefs; and, ultimately, a change in career, to becoming a Therapist.
What drew me to this line of work was the ability to assist individuals experiencing life’s challenges and support those in need with their emotional and mental wellbeing.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, tired, hopeless or lacking joy; like your emotions are uncontrollable or that they do not match with reality; that your worry is getting out of hand or that there is no longer any point, then it might be a good time to seek some support. We are social creatures, and despite what our modern society might have us believe, we all need human connection to function. Seeking support is a huge sign of strength – the strength to actually reach out and let someone in, in order to start the healing process. If you can relate to this or if you have set yourself a personal development goal please reach out. Life's challenges come at us in all different shapes and forms. Unfortunately, sometimes, the more we struggle, the more we disengage from others and from looking after ourselves. Asking for help can feel like the last priority when we are caught up in the drag of dysfunction, but in reality it is often the hardest and best step we can take.
