Are you taking care of yourself?
Having trouble balancing it all?
Is stress making you feel out of control?
Are you struggling in your relationships right now?
Would you like to become less emotionally reactive?
Are you ready to experience deep emotional healing and connect to your happier self?
Balancing work and social needs can create stress and chaos in your relationships. Living with chronic stress can have profound effects on your mind and body, and can even impair your spirit. If you've had a lot of stress or trauma in the past, your mind and body can become conditioned to expect bad things to happen in the present. Memories from highly stressful events are often stored in the body as your physiology continues to react to perceived danger long after the threat is gone. You may be more vulnerable to developing a stress reaction which can appear as overwhelming and uncomfortable emotions, body sensations, and thoughts. Your mind can get stuck in unhelpful patterns of rumination and judgment. Perhaps you have an overdeveloped inner critic which judges every decision you make. You may feel fatigued making it difficult to accomplish everyday tasks. These patterns can affect your sense of trust in yourself and the world and contribute to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness about life situations.
What is stopping you from being happier and achieving success?
Psychotherapy can help you develop a deeper understanding of painful patterns of relating to yourself and others which contribute to chronic stress reactions. Through the cultivation of skillful practices such as mindfulness, your own wisdom will show you how to become calm and centered even during life's most challenging moments. Likewise, yoga builds the sense of connection to the self and the ability to notice and tolerate the inner experience, helping you to tap into your own intuition. Neuroscientific research has shown that the practice of yoga improves heart function and promotes calmness in the body and mind. Therefore, yoga can be an important healing compliment to traditional psychotherapy for managing stress and other emotional issues.
According to yoga philosophy, you already have everything you need to be whole and well. Sometimes you may just need a little guidance to find that wisdom. Yoga can help you to clear away obstructions and nurture your positive qualities, allowing you to reach your greatest potential. As a psychologist and yoga teacher, I can guide you on your journey towards wisdom and wellness.
