Unlock some important points
You are much more than your challenges
Often times after being discharged from Choices individuals no longer meet the criteria for the various disorders. Things may be difficult right now, but we can help. Think of Choices as a flashlight in the darkness. We know the way; you just have to walk it. While diagnosis is important it does not define you. Therapy helps and you can do this.
Always look for a specialist
"The past affects the present even without us being aware of it" -Francine Shapiro
Many of Choices counselors have extensive training in trauma-based treatments like EMDR and TF-CBT. As you do your research into different counselors it is important to understand how core issues in your past affect you in the present and the future.
When you reprocess and work through your past it will help you to make better choices in the present. Our brains prioritize negative and fearful experiences so we can protect ourselves better. If we do not deal with our past, it creates thinking styles and ways of being in the world that are maladaptive. Break the pattern now so you can have a better future.
Specializing in trauma means more than just treating traditional PTSD symptoms. It means the fundamental way that treatment is provided is different than most other therapists. Depression and anxiety are symptoms of deeper underlying issues. Choices therapists help you to get well and stay well.
Journaling
What can you do right now?
Discover the power of self-reflection through the simple act of journaling. An accessible and effective habit, it's as easy as jotting down your thoughts in a notebook or typing them out on your phone. With extensive evidence backing its effectiveness, journaling helps in developing personal insight into our thinking patterns and behaviors.
Don't just take our word for it, experience the transformative power of journaling yourself. It might not seem like much, but it can make a world of difference. Why wait? Grab a pen, unlock your phone, let your thoughts flow, and start your journaling journey today.
