Mood
“Human suffering comes from normal processes that run away from us” — Steven Hayes
You may find yourself spending much or most of your time in a negative mood state, like feeling depressed, numb, irritable, or burned out. Over time, these chronic upsetting feelings can impact your self-esteem, relationships, and practically every area of your life. You may have tried “waiting out” these feelings, analyzing your way out of them, or even tough-loving yourself into “snapping out if it.”
In my experience, navigating a mood problem requires a cognitive, emotional and, most critically, a behavioral approach. I will bring compassion, creativity, and the ability to “roll with resistance” that will inevitably emerge as we work to get you unstuck. If this feeling has been chronic, or keeps popping up and going away over the years, we may consider looking more deeply into your early-life experiences to heal at the foundational level.
