Counseling With Kade
| Posted on January 22, 2016 at 6:40 PM |
Seeking counseling
can be a scary thing. The idea of opening up to someone about our deepest, most
intimate fears, worries, and desires can cause anxiety. What if it does not
work? What if I do not like my counselor? These questions, along with many
more, can make the idea of counseling unappealing. Counseling does not have to
be a scary or mysterious thing though. Allow me to share a bit about the
process of counseling and common areas of concern I work with. It is my
sincerest hope that this will help remove the anxiety surrounding seeking
counseling. Individual talk therapy can be used
for a wide variety of issues. Common concerns include depression, anxiety,
anger, impulse control, self-esteem, communication with others, and many more.
In working with each of these concerns, we will look at how past decisions and
beliefs are impacting your life currently. We will use the insight we gain in
these investigations to help us identify how to best empower you for the
future. It is my personal belief that we are personally responsible for the
decisions we make, and that who we are in the present is a result of a lifetime
of decisions and beliefs. Once we are able to identify the decisions and
beliefs that limit our growth, we can begin working toward making deep,
meaningful changes in our lives. While none of us live a perfect life, we each
deserve to live as fulfilling of a life as we can. While coming to individual
talk therapy may initially be uncomfortable, as the process continues it can
provide a great deal of relief for a number of concerns. Let us explore what we
can do to help you live the life you deserve. The approach I use in counseling is
called existentialism. One of the primary focuses of existential counseling is
not to “cure” the negative feelings we experience, but to learn to cope with
them knowing that at some point in each of our lives, we are likely to
encounter them again. A life without negative feelings is not possible, but
what is possible is learning to face stress, sadness, anxiety, fear, and other
negative emotions in a positive, productive manner. Your happiness is in your
hands, and you have the responsibility to give yourself the best life you can.
In counseling, we will explore ways you can expand your decision making skills
to further increase your satisfaction with life. Not only will we look at what
you are currently experiencing, but we will also explore bigger picture
questions. How do you live life to the fullest? How do you develop and express
your individuality while remaining connected to others? How do you tolerate
uncertainty? Coming to a better understanding of your personal answers to these
questions serves to better prepare you for the future. Existential counseling
aims to understand the link between what we do and how we feel so that we may
act more deliberately and with greater ownership of our actions. |
