WHY CHOOSE THERAPY?
If you had an ache or a pain that wouldn’t go away, you’d probably visit your GP or pharmacist in order to get help.
You’d probably have no issue with doing this and wouldn’t think twice about it. However, the same is often not true when it comes to looking after our mental health.
Sadly, there is often stigma attached to seeking support for any issues we might have with our thoughts or the way we might behave. However, much like physical health, all of us need to look after our mental health as much as we do our body.
Help is available!
Fortunately, there are a number of services available both privately as well as in the NHS. I work within both of these settings and constantly see the huge benefits ‘talking therapy’ can bring. One of the main surprises to people can be the acknowledgement that not everything we think is true. We have absolutely no control over the next thought that’s going to appear, but for some reason, probably because we crave a sense of certainty, we can believe we are responsible for the thoughts we have. In fact, our thoughts are automatic in nature, just like our breathing. Just as one breath follows another without any of our control so our thoughts operate in a very similar way.
