Anxiety disorders are increasingly common. Many people ‘suffer in silence’, not recognising that what they are feeling is anxiety — they just feel very ‘on edge’ and overwhelmed. Talking therapies are an effective way of bringing calm and a sense of coping back into your life. 1 in 5 of us will suffer from depression at some point. It’s not a choice, nor is it a sign of weakness. And it can’t be ‘gotten over’ by ‘putting on a brave face and carrying on’. It can be hard to ask for help, but doing so is a major step towards overcoming that pervasive sadness and hopelessness; to finding personal meaning and purpose in our lives. None of us have a ‘disordered personality’, but some of us, for several important & valid reasons, experience intense emotions that make going about adult life very hard at times. Schema therapy can help bring about healing & change, & a new way to go forward with your life.
