Changing your Anxiety & Depression
Finding yourself again
Living with anxiety
Finding your Self again
Anxiety is a normal human emotion, we all have it and we will all always have it. But sometimes anxiety takes over our lives. It begins to make us see only the risks in any give situation, to fixate on details that it tells us will give us control. When anxiety becomes a driver in our lives we often strive for perfection, struggle to say no or prioritize what we actually need.
For many of us this can lead down a path of over functioning, being caught up in busyness and productive and losing a sense of self worth if we aren’t always “doing”. This inevitable leads to forsaking other parts of us contributing to burnout and exhaustion.
Losing our identity to work or over functioning comes at a cost.
We will support you in finding balance and a sense of self, while not sacrificing the areas of your life that anxiety has helped you to develop.
Living with depression
Unburdening your Self
Depression is heavy, we feel it in our whole being, its weight, and ache and longing to be different, to feel different. It steals our hope and our job and takes away pleasures that we have known our whole life.
Understanding how our depression functions, and what it costs us, helps us have some say in how it shows up in our world, and develop and maintain a sense of self that isn’t consumed by depression. We will also work with you to rebuild and rediscover that things that we have lost to depression. These things are often precious parts of our identity and lives.
We will work with you on unburdening your Self and finding a life and identity you want, and probably miss.
“Ultimately, happiness comes down to choosing between the discomfort of becoming aware of your mental afflictions and the discomfort of being ruled by them. ”
– Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
