Blog 1 (New 30daybloggingchallenge)

I have decided to write more about the Therapy World in these blogs this time so know you will get something

out of them.

I have been asked many, many times over my long-standing years (30+) as a Psychologist, Supervisor and Coach in the Self-Development world,  “What exactly do women come to therapy for?”

I can only focus on those that I’ve experienced so my answer is usually something like –

Anything and everything on the surface:-

Wanting to be happy and fulfilled

Differing issues in relationships (family, partners, work)

Stress

Ill-health

Depression

Overwhelm

Being different,

Feeling of going mad

Not fitting in

Fear of change or taking risks

Loss of some sort through death, divorce, children leaving home, losing their job, illness,  retirement,

Mid-life crises

Life lacks a purpose

Searching for meaning

And anything else you might add!!

And underneath for most is PAIN, and the need for LOVE.  The women are out of alignment with themselves.    They are not listening to or not connected themselves – everyone else is ahead in the queue!!   

For some, there is a nagging sense that life can be different in some way, and they are not quite sure what that feeling is all about.

So – take your pick of what I’ve written and maybe your issue is not one of them.

 I’d love to hear from you what has, or might cause you to find someone who will listen to you perhaps for the very first time, either individually or in a group.   I would value your comments.
