Why should I start psychotherapy?
​

There are various personal reasons a person begins to work therapeutically.

​

The most common reasons we start searching for the suitable psychotherapeutic approach and therapist for us are:

 

In cases when...​

• we seek for a meaning in our lives, and we want to know more about ourselves,

​

• we tend to redefine ourselves, our needs and desires, and to claim the desirable changes in our lives, on an intrapersonal, relational and/or professional level,

​

• we feel mentally exhausted, depressed  or experience mood fluctuations that reduce our energy or make it difficult for us to coexist with others,

​

• we experience acute stress and/or panic attacks, whether manifested under a special condition/stimulus, or occurring unexpectedly without being able to identify a specific cause or trigger,

​

• we experience embarrassment, emotional distress, stress in our interaction with others (social anxiety), and we want to enhance our social skills,

​

• we come up against with some difficulty, unable to overcome it by discussing about it with family and friends and/or to express ourselves honestly without the fear of criticism,

​

• we are in the midst of pleasant or unpleasant life events causing us stress or mood changes, a sense of destabilization and the need to redefine our role (e.g. marriage, childbirth, relocation, loss and mourning, professional/financial difficulties, separation/divorce, health issues, retirement, etc.),

​

• we face difficulties in our interpersonal relationships and we wish, alone (individual therapy) or together (pair therapy, family therapy), to work on the resolution of conflict individually or as a couple/family.
