Therapy with JLee
Eating Disorders | Trauma | Anxiety | Depression | Stress Management
Therapy addresses dysfunctional patterns as opposed to addressing one problem in one context.
Every individual has a personal set of emotional needs that stem from our unique upbringing and experiences.
If we can recognize our emotional needs, we can feel in control by taking care of them before we are burnt out.
So….what is therapy? Do we just talk?
While talking is often perceived as chatting casually, psychotherapy is more than that.
Therapy is a type of treatment that focuses on addressing mental health challenges through different types of communications.
Therapists are trained to identify the source of distress and facilitate conversations to meet treatment goals.
We discuss, clarify, collaborate, strategize, assess, learn, reflect, problem solve, practice, explore options, make decisions, implement changes, celebrate accomplishments.
Laughing or crying is sometimes in the mix. So simple answer is, yes, we do talk!
“Language shows us that naming an experience gives us the power of understanding and meaning.”
Can I benefit from therapy if I’m not into the “touchy-feely” stuff?
Absolutely! You don’t need to be a "touchy-feely" person to be able to benefit from growing your self-awareness. If you're alive, you have feelings—and you deserve to find your own authentic way of navigating through life. Therapy is about learning how to manage and understand your emotions in a way that works for you, helping you stay grounded and in control of your life.
