Sometimes, we are unaware of our feelings and emotions and how they affect our lives. However, suppose you have been experiencing for some time low mood, sadness, loneliness, emptiness, anger, frustrations, negative thoughts about yourself, poor self-esteem and self-confidence, tiredness, poor appetite or overeating, poor sleep hygiene or oversleeping, intrusive thoughts about death or wishing not been here to avoid your problems, amongst other symptoms. In that case, it is pretty likely that you have a Depression Disorder.

Feeling angry when things don’t go as we expect is normal, just like feeling depressed or anxious. However, if you find yourself frequently experiencing excessive anger and reacting aggressively or violently to situations that don’t warrant such a response, and it’s causing problems in your personal relationships, you may be dealing with anger issues.
It’s possible that these behaviors come from unresolved emotional conflicts from childhood. People dealing with this issue may try to conceal, deny, or mask their emotional struggles by engaging in unhealthy and self-destructive behaviors.

Develop a clearer understanding of yourself, your emotions, and your internal world.

If you’re looking for a space to explore your experiences more deeply and understand the patterns shaping your life, you’re welcome to book a session.

 

 

You may have tried to “fix” things, but something still feels unresolved.

Many people who come to Ascent Psychology have already tried therapy before.

They’ve:

  • learned strategies to manage anxiety
  • understood their thoughts and behaviours
  • tried to make changes

But still feel:

  • stuck in the same patterns
  • emotionally reactive in certain situations
  • unsure why things keep repeating

Is this the right fit for you?

This practice may be a good fit if:

  • you’re open to exploring your internal world more deeply
  • you’re curious about patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships
  • you’re looking for more than short-term strategies

It may be less suitable if:

  • you are looking for quick, solution-focused techniques
  • you prefer a highly structured, directive approach
