Are you wondering how to find support that’s right for you? Perhaps you started by doing some research but then immediately felt overwhelmed by the many great options that are out there. In this blog we will offer some resources for how to get started with your search.
Reaching Out Can Be Hard
First, let’s just acknowledge that reaching out for support and asking for help can feel vulnerable. Vulnerability and shame are some of the biggest reasons many of us delay seeking support until we encounter a point where the struggles we experience have already taken a significant toll on us and our well-being. The impact may include strained relationships, impacts on employment and other responsibilities, depression and anxiety, etc. Therapists have the training and experience to walk you through this process in ways that reduce the vulnerability and shame you feel about needing help.
