Therapy for Adults in Farringdon and Angel, London

As a professional, as an adult, you should have it made. You’re a leader, an influencer, an everyday hero. Perhaps you’re a parent or caregiver, an active and hard-working student or entrepreneur, or someone with a big heart who isn’t afraid of taking life by the reins. People listen to you and admire you. You are well-known and well-liked by your peers, respected and held in high regard by many in your community.

You make adult life look easy and effortless.

Yet, deep down, you know it’s all a balancing act. In fact, you don’t have any special superpowers that protect you from bad things happening. When you’re in a tough situation, when you’re feeling down, when you’re unsure of yourself – people often assume that you’re bulletproof. That any turmoil you may experience just falls away like water off a duck’s back. So you continue to live up to your name and people’s expectations of you. But you’re actually stuck and struggling. And maybe you even feel embarrassed and afraid of asking for help.

Does this sound like you?

Always setting yourself high expectations and aim for perfection in many areas of your life
Taking responsibility for a lot of things including people’s reactions and their feelings which sometimes leads you to wonder “Should I have…”
Avoiding, pushing away and denying negative thoughts and feelings because you believe you’re “better and stronger than this”

You know better, but…

It’s impossible to be strong all the time but you hate feeling weak, frail and vulnerable. Without warning, different life events, relationships or memories can shake your confidence. For example, at times you may feel overwhelmed by your commitments and responsibilities. Something reminds you of a past traumatic experience. Someone you care deeply about is no longer around. When life pulls the rug from under your feet, like everyone else, you take a tumble. It’s times like these when it’s necessary to get support, to take time to recover.

Become Your Authentic Self

If you ignore or cover up your pain and hurt with a plaster and a forced smile, you’ll likely go on hurting. When you mask your true feelings and push your emotions aside, you appear ‘fine’ on the outside but underneath you feel troubled, confused and alone. Letting your emotions eat you up inside depletes your energy, confidence and self-belief. In fact, not caring and tending to yourself when you need the most help will make you weak. Taking the courage to admit you’re not strong all the time and finding ways to help yourself will make you stronger.
