There are many reasons people decide to seek therapy including difficulty with the following: communication, stress, sleep, relationships, processing past traumas, low mood, feeling “stuck” or “numb”, lack of interest, excessive worry, concentration, and more.
The outcomes of therapy vary, but the goal is for the client to build new skills, gain insight and awareness, learn about their symptoms, and have a reduction or elimination of symptoms. Processing past traumatic events can result in ability to overcome the feeling of “numbness” or hypersensitivity, as well as feeling able to move forward without being triggered by memories of the past. This can result in better sleep, improved relationships with family and friends, improved mood and more.
