While no one expects to feel happy all the time, there is an expectation that you will feel good about most of your life.
If you're struggling, there's a reason. Sometimes it's obvious but often it's not. We have become experts at avoiding feelings of discomfort. We drink alcohol, smoke, anaesthetize with drugs, and scroll hours away on our phones. If you feel better afterwards, it's rare.
Addiction and avoidance are not the cure but the symptom. Gabor Maté says "it's hard to get enough of something that almost works." I felt that.
Anxiety, panic attacks, depression, OCD, addiction and numerous other mental health conditions have been helped enormously by counselling.
Isn't it time you tried?
