Are you stressed and unhappy? How to feel better quick
An alarming study has shown that 1 in 5 European workers experience work related stress and according to The World Health Organisation, 25% of Europeans are anxious or depressed.
Jeg mener, at svære følelser kan være gavnlige for os.
De hjælper os med at lære mere om vores grænser, ønsker, frygter og drivkræfter. Men når disse følelser opstår regelmæssigt, kan de begynde at påvirke vores mentale, sociale og fysiske velvære.

Lad mig stille dig et spørgsmål. Når du oplever gentagne episoder med negative følelser, er der så også nogle gentagne temaer for, hvad der forårsager dem? For eksempel, finder du dig selv ofte i panik over dit arbejde, eller i dyb tristhed over relationer? Er der en fælles udløser, der sætter dig i gang gang på gang?
If the answer is yes, I’d like to explore this with you to break the negative pattern and inevitable build-up.
Proactive steps to feel better quickly
Now, let’s imagine you handle this differently. In the case of the hurt wrist, you could take measures to ensure the environment is altered to minimise the impact on your emerging injury (buy a wrist guard, get a wrist support for your computer etc). This prevents the injury from worsening and helps you avoid disaster. In the case of your mental health, if you seek some input when symptoms are mild – such as through therapy – you can resolve the core of the issue before your mental health escalates.
For eksempel, et skridt kunne være at booke en gratis 15-minutters samtale for at tale med mig. Dette skridt alene er en positiv måde at håndtere svære følelser på, før de får overtaget.

Can therapy help with your problem?
It could be that you have no clue what’s causing your challenging emotions. Or, you may have a very good idea and aren’t sure how to change the circumstances. Either way, we can explore it together. During our 15 minute conversation, we can discuss your feelings and experiences and decide if therapy is the best course of action for you. It’s also a chance for you to ask questions, get to know me and explore whether you’d like per-session therapy or therapy on subscription. The key is to ensure you feel better quickly, without experiencing the potential downward spiral that can occur when emotions are left undealt with.
