Living a life feeling like we're mostly dropping in and out of suffering eventually catches us up. On my journey to becoming a therapist, I'd come to accept that I'd been doing this for the best part of the last thirty years. But for the last five years I've freed myself from the grip of these issues, feel so much better, freer and more confident. I've also come to understand that we can become way too adept at merely surviving life via an almost constant need to find the nearest source of distraction, especially when certain feelings are spiked. Now this isn't about losing these options, but it is about not being stuck with them.Whilst this behaviour may feel natural as these coping mechanisms slowly become evermore habitual, these habits will incrementally catch up with and consume us, as our relationship with our own fears, whether or not they are apparent under any given or researched diagnosis, will further deteriorate. This means we become fearful, even in our own company.If we are fearful in our own company, then we are fearful of life. Therefore anxiety and depression issues would be inevitable. Regardless of the scale of the problem, if anything I've put here speaks to you then I offer a safe space for us both to find understanding of what's causing this, achieve acceptance and change habits towards a brighter future.
