Breaking Habitual Behaviour
What I can offer:
- identify issue and problematic impact
- explore components of the compulsion or behaviour
- explore related emotional elements
- identify links and triggers
- explore degree of motivation to change
- address blocks to change if any are identified
This would lead to the introduction of an Algorithm - an effective technique you can learn and take away with you and use in supporting yourself in breaking ties with the phobia, compulsion or behaviour
What is usually encouraged is a follow up 90 minute session to
- assess progress
- rework some of the components of the treatment
- fine tune the Algorithm
My Approach to Stress Management
A definition of stress that I find most helpful is: WHEN THE TASK BEFORE ME (OR PRESENT LIFE SITUATION) IS GREATER THAN MY PERCEIVED ABILITY TO COPE. In recent years it has become more apparent that escalating stress is a major contributor to our declining physical and emotional health. It would be unrealistic to believe that, in both the workplace and our personal relationships, we can live a totally stress free life. The fact is - stress is part of life. It is important that we learn how to understand and manage our stress levels effectively. It is becoming increasingly more important to identify sources of our stress before we can take appropriate action in addressing the core issues. The goal in all of this would be to improve our self awareness and understanding, identify sources of stress and either bring resolution where possible or find ways of reducing the stress level to normal functioning levels.
In my Stress Management Practice I have devised an eight step model to help a person identify and understand the sources of their stress and their negative impact on their life. The visual work sessions can aid in empowering the person to make changes through revised thinking and behaviour, thus reducing their stress level. The positive experience of change can become the building blocks for increased self esteem and self confidence. The result can help restore a sense of internal peace and wellbeing.
Step 1 - introduction and stress test
Step 2 - identification of stress areas
Step 3 - visual stress mapping
Step 4 - exploration of the emotional, psychological and physiological aspects of stress
Step 5 - exploration of the impact stress has on thinking, behaviour and quality of life
Step 6 - function and place of boundaries / identification and establishment of appropriate boundaries
Step 7 - working towards change - boundaries / thinking / behaviour / stress reduction and management
Step 8 - Implementation of support strategy / self care

How can Counselling / Psychotherapy Help?
It takes courage to ask for help of this kind, especially when you are struggling with low self esteem. Counselling / Psychotherapy could help you get back in touch with yourself and regain a sense of healthy control over your life. In a safe and non-judgemental environment therapy can aid your self understanding, bring clarity where there is confusion, and prepare the groundwork to resolve issues and implement change. Over time, therapy has the potential to help you regain your sense of internal peace and enhance your capacity to live a more meaningful life.
“I have come to believe that by and large the human family all has the same secrets, which are both very telling and very important to tell. They are telling in the sense that they tell what is perhaps the central paradox of our condition—that what we hunger for perhaps more than anything else is to be known in our full humanness, and yet that is often just what we also fear more than anything else. It is important to tell at least from time to time the secret of who we truly and fully are—even if we tell it only to ourselves—because otherwise we run the risk of losing track of who we truly and fully are and little by little come to accept instead the highly edited version which we put forth in hope that the world will find it more acceptable than the real thing. It is important to tell our secrets too because it makes it easier that way to see where we have been in our lives and where we are going. It also makes it easier for other people to tell us a secret or two of their own, and exchanges like that have a lot to do with what being a family is all about and what being human is all about.”
