Mississauga Counselling

Verified by N49

Many people look to counselling because powerful emotions are dominating their lives. Often they try to overcome these emotional states by talking them away or using distractions (i.e. busy-work, alcohol, watching TV). We can push something away, but generally, it comes back on us. In fact, we often delude ourselves into thinking that we've "worked through" an issue when it temporarily disappears.

Solving your problems by taking a pill each day can sound appealing too. If only it was that easy! These emotional problems have multiple causes, and medication is not a one stop cure for them. It may help ease the symptoms, but may have side effects and does not provide complete relief.

Therapy provides you with management and coping skills to help you stay grounded, and helps you deal with feelings that you would like to change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is our main approach to therapy. Whether someone is trying to improve their lives, deal with pain, or just trying to relax the key to is learning how to think differently. CBT is about: : * How you think about yourself, the world and other people * How what you do affects your thoughts and feelings.
