Everyone has struggles and frustrations with life.
When these struggles and frustrations seem never-ending, overwhelming, and take all your time and energy it may be time to reach out for help. If you are exhausted and feel that the quality of your life is going down the drain connecting with a counselor can be a great help. Often times we try several solutions to overcome our struggles before going to counseling. However, where we look for help can make the difference between distraction and a workable plan.
Distractions feel good for a while and may get us over the initial problem long enough to see clearer. This can be really helpful if this is a one time issue and you don’t expect to ever deal with it again. But if it’s a pattern of behavior that continue to repeat distraction may just keep us locked in a no win scenario. Typical distractions include:
- Drugs
- Alcohol
- TV/ entertainment
- Shopping
- Changes -new relationships, jobs, and activities
- Reading
- Exercise
- Meditation
Of course, not all distractions are harmful and some actually can help us improve our sense of well-being. But if they are being used to avoid dealing with a problem they can get in the way.
If you are looking for a different path, complete with solid evidenced base methods such as CBT, DBT, and mindfulness you’ve come to the right place for counseling.
No matter what challenges you are dealing with, we are here to ease your stress, ensure you feel heard, and help you find the best path, with dignity and respect.
