3 Reasons you should go to Therapy..

 So before I start writing this blog for the second time, Can you believe my phone decided to delete all of the bomb information I had for you guys. So yea, You can see how my Sunday is going! 


Are you going through a major life change? Going through a breakup or adjusting to who you are becoming or even still dealing with childhood trauma? I believe these are all great reasons to consider going to therapy..We all have different ways that we choose to deal with life, but going to therapy has really helped me in healing childhood wounds and forming healthier relationships.


A lot of people don't want to admit that they are toxic or need professional help because they are in denial. I'm here to tell you there is nothing to be ashamed of. I spend a great deal of my early 20's reliving the past and being unhealthy in my relationship and with myself. It wasn't because I was a bad person, it was because I didn't understand what healthy relationships or being healthy to myself looked like. I remember nights I cried and prayed to god because I desperately wanted to be better for myself and for those around me. 

I constantly was triggered when people said certain things to me because it brought me back to a point in my life that I did not want to remember. I was constantly battling my emotions and didn't really understand them. As I began therapy, I later understood why I reacted the way I did to certain things. I believe a part of healing is having those difficult conversations about how you contributed to your own painful circumstances.


3 Reasons you should consider Therapy


1. You want to change something about your life-

This is the one! I think this was a part of the reason I decided to go to therapy. There were certain things about myself I wanted to change. Let's face it! I don't know anyone who fully loves the way they are all the time. I believe it's certain things some of us look at and know we can improve. If you are anything like me and obsessed with bettering yourself you are always looking for new ways to grow and evolve into who you're meant to be. Therapy can help you with becoming better in certain areas of your life.



2. Your childhood trauma is affecting the way you are as an adult-

Maybe your family always bullied you, and now as an adult, you are treating people poorly. A lot of is don't realize that there was a certain way you should treat people, but it is. To be exact a healthy way to treat people. As an adult, it's not cool to treat people poorly or disrespect them, at least in my opinion. Whatever your childhood trauma is, try to relate that to your adult life, and if it is affecting you and your relationships this is another great reason to go to therapy.



3. You are adjusting to a major life change-

As someone who is always moving to a different state every 2 years, I can definitely relate to this one. Adjusting to a major life change can be tough. Whether you are moving, getting married, or having kids. This is a new chapter for you and you deserve to feel great about the decisions you are making. Therapy if a great way to get a positive perspective on the decisions you are making that support your next chapter in life.


I genuinely hope that this blog encouraged you to seek therapy if you are considering it because it has really changed my life.

Fantasizing about the future, while still dealing with reality

  We all remember that one question in high school “ Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years " . Now I'm here 10 years later, and almost everything I've ever fantasized about has happened. I often questioned whether I was the only one who was going through life's trials and still dreaming of all the things I wanted. While doing a bunch of research I realized that I'm not! There are so many people in their 30s 40’s and 50’s still working jobs they hate while fantasizing about the future that they wish to have someday .  Oh, I also know many people including myself who have dreams but are at places in life where we don't want to be. The truth is, all of this is preparing us for our future. That baby you want to have will come when it's meant to come. That lifestyle you want to have is on its way. That trip you are dreaming of taking will happen one day. Please don't stop fantasizing, it makes life fun and you don't feel like all you are doing ...

Sometimes we don’t want to make Sacrifices but they are Necessary!

Omg! Did I mention being a adult in my late 20’s is challenging? Between budgeting , my bank account and making decisions I don’t want to make, I’m over all of it!!!  One minute I feel like superwoman and the next minute I feel like I’m losing my mind. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. I’m at a point where I don’t want to do it but it’s necessary! If I want all the things I say I want. Sacrifices need to be made, who wants to make Sacrifices? The painful ones to be exact. Umm, Nobody! Exactly! Okay, the rant is over! Although I could go on and on about how life can suck, I’d rather talk about the positive perspective attached to all decisions we are currently making for our future.  You are probably reading this after crying your eyes out in the shower , or maybe you paid your last bill and there’s no money left in your account. Whatever your situation is I’m sure you are making those painful sacrifices we can all relate to.  I just want to say Congratula...
