Humans perish in isolation. When our connection to other people becomes strained and leads to a sense of loneliness, the consequences can be dire to our physical and mental health. People who are socially isolated are more likely to feel depressed and anxious, and have trouble processing information. Further, when we lack a support network, it compromises our immune system, making us more susceptible to illness. It can also increase the risk of heart disease, inflammation, and poor sleep, all of which can accelerate brain and cardiovascular aging.
The consequences are so severe because we are bred to be in contact and connection with others. This is why the principles of Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), a therapeutic model based on constructing secure attachments, are crucial to consider and enact during treatment. Throughout our time together, we will focus on helping you to create a connection to a support system, and regain a bond with those whom you love. To do this, we will anchor our work together in helping you to design coherent, meaningful narratives about both yourself and the key relationships in your life. You will learn how to trust your experience, accept your feelings, and be comfortable in relation to others. You will recognize that your existence is worthwhile.
So if any of these sound like you…
- You keep worrying about the same problem over and over
- You don’t know who you could ever trust with knowing about your secret struggle
- You wish there was somebody who could tell you why you feel this way
- You’re interested in therapy, but you don’t want to give up total control
- Other areas of your life are being negatively impacted by your struggle
- You need somebody to listen to you and your feelings for once
- You’re interested in therapy, but not sure how it could fit into your life
…Then call us. We will help you sail towards internal peace and connection.
