People go to therapy for various reasons, such as major life transitions or unhelpful thoughts. But it varies from person to person. One thing to keep in mind when seeking help from a therapist is that it may take several months and help from different therapists along the way. You should never feel obligated to stick with one therapist when you feel they are not the right fit or it is time to move forward with someone else. https://ter.li/pcddrc

Last night a client refered to my office as her “safe place” and to me as “the only person” that she can be herself with and share all her thoughts and feelings. I was pleased to hear it as that is what I try to offer. But reflecting on it I realise the responsibility placed upon me to maintain it yet being able not to be compliant and not collude with my clients. I am glad she feels that way yet I can hear my Gestalt tutor’s voice echoing in my ears.
“Tolis, at some point you need to decide what business you are in, customer satisfaction or therapy”.

Highly sensitive people are often extra hard on themselves. This harsh inner critic can lead to depression, anxiety, OCD and perfectionism. There are ways to manage and quiet the critic, heal from depression, and thrive inside the intense world of the HSP.
