There is no change without\u00a0new perceptions<\/strong>. When we find ourselves suffering, we crave new ways<\/strong> of thinking, feeling, and experiencing life.<\/p> That\u2019s why Perception Psychotherapy<\/strong> is rooted in mindfulness-based practices including:<\/p> Anxiety\u00a0<\/strong><\/p> You feel stuck on a ferris wheel of repetitive thoughts<\/strong> and want off the ride already. You struggle with decision<\/strong> making<\/strong> from a place of clarity, calm and confidence. Your body feels exhausted<\/strong> even when you’re just sitting… You can\u2019t stop playing out worst case scenarios<\/strong>. You know you\u2019re being perfectionistic<\/strong>, but when you try not to be, you feel out of control<\/strong>. \u00a0You just want to speak up and be heard, but you don\u2019t really know how to.<\/p>\n Life Transitions<\/strong><\/p> You\u2019re new<\/strong> and you feel off balance.<\/strong> You’re switching schools, starting a new job, new career, new identity, new phase of life.<\/strong> You used to feel like you could sing along to the lyrics of life\u2019s song, and now you\u2019re off key, out of tune, or you just don\u2019t know the words at all.<\/p>\n Relationship Stress<\/strong><\/p> As much as you try, you just can\u2019t seem to be on the same page with your partner, friends, or family. You\u2019re struggling to express your own thoughts and feelings<\/strong>. You can\u2019t seem to make sense of what is happening, why this feels so difficult<\/strong>, or how to move forward.<\/p>\n Grief & Loss<\/strong><\/p> There was no way to prepare for the impact of your loss. You try to find the words and nothing comes out.<\/strong> Others are concerned about you and you can\u2019t even fake it<\/strong> enough to reassure them. You feel heartbroken, needy, and lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n Trauma & PTSD<\/strong><\/p> Something happened. Maybe it was one event. Maybe it was multiple small events, whatever the case, you feel that you\u2019re not the same anymore.<\/strong> You wonder how life could have been. You want to understand and make meaning<\/strong> of what happened. You want life outside of lingering anxiety, anger, and hopelessness.<\/p>\n Depression<\/strong><\/p> You feel like you\u2019re walking through the world with cement boots<\/strong> on. There is a faint memory of life\u2019s TV screen having color to it, but the only channels you get are black and white. You\u2019re often bored<\/strong> or imagining another reality where you are not lonely<\/strong>. You miss feeling motivated<\/strong> and having goals in life.<\/p>\n Low Self-Esteem<\/strong><\/p> You really don\u2019t believe you can do it,<\/strong> even though you have before. You relentlessly question your own self worth. You think someone else would be better<\/strong>. You think \u201cif only<\/strong> I did ___\u201d then I could give myself a break. When you see someone who\u2019s confident, you wonder if they came from a different planet.<\/p>\n Divorce & Separation <\/strong><\/p> When the picture was torn in half it was like all of your emotions broke in half<\/strong> too. You too feel torn<\/strong> and filled with mixed emotions<\/strong>. Everything feels complicated and messy.<\/strong><\/p>\n
