Counseling for Women
Do You Feel Depressed or Anxious?
Are you having relationship problems?
Are you not feeling good about yourself?
Being a woman is not always easy. Unreasonable expectations by others to be perfect, to meet everyone’s needs, and do it all is a burden for many women. In turn, many women have their own unrealistic ideas about what they need to do to please other people. You are expected to be a loving and nurturing partner, a successful career woman, and a perfect mother. All this, and you have to look good too!
Although women and men often suffer from the same kinds of problems such as depression, anxiety and relationship issues, women often experience them differently because they tend to take responsibility for too much, feel guilty when they are not looking after everyone else’s needs, and often blame themselves for their problems. Many of these women are “adult survivors” of childhood trauma – verbal, physical, even sexual abuse.
All of this can easily leave you feeling depleted, depressed, angry or resentful. And try as you might to pull yourself out of these feelings, you can’t. You may even start hurting yourself by binging on food or starving yourself (eating disorders), abusing alcohol or drugs, and other forms of self-sabotage.
If you resonate with any of the following, counseling can help:
- You feel anxious, sad or depressed much of the time.
- You are struggling with issues of self-esteem or poor body image.
- You are suffering due to a traumatic event such as childhood abuse.
- You give too much to others and don’t get enough of what you need.
- You often feel hurt by friends, family, or your partner.
- You keep repeating negative relationship patterns.
- You are grieving the loss of a relationship.
- You are experiencing some sexual issues
- You are struggling with addictions (alcohol, illegal or prescription drugs, food, sex, love, shopping, etc.)
- You are having problems with your children or teenager
It Doesn’t Matter How Long You’ve Been Suffering…
