The Myth Of Having To Be Unwell...

We'd all be forgiven for thinking that therapy is only for when you're feeling down, or unwell... and that's a valid point of view... but it's also not the only one.

And as it happens, it isn't my point of view. Time and time again I've used personal therapy to challenge a sticking point in my life experience where I've felt discomfort or frustration, and always come out of therapy in just a handful of sessions with a means to enjoy my life even more.

Enjoying my life stands as one of the most important principles of being for me!

The critical point to remember is that therapy is yours, you can own that experience and you can define what it means to you. There's no need to let others shape that perception for you, and if you do hold an opinion, perhaps ask yourself where that opinion has come from... is it truly yours?

Is therapy long term or short term? It's up to you! What are your goals? What is your purpose for engaging with it? Maybe you only need one session to solve a perplexing problem in your life and that's all you need for now... that's cool in my book!

And don't forget, it's OK to drop in and out as you require - it might look like there are hard and fast rules with starting or stopping therapy, and some therapists may enforce them, and that's OK. I personally strive to offer you what you think you need, not what I think you need!
