Sometimes we are our own worst enemies. Psychotherapy can help you with difficulties such as the following:

• Focusing repeatedly on your faults or failures

• Perpetually feeling like an outsider, significantly different from other people

• Telling yourself that you are an imposter or don’t deserve to be successful or happy

• Blaming yourself for other people’s actions or events that are not in your control

• Feeling guilty over minor actions and/or finding it hard to forgive yourself

• Allowing fear of failure to prevent you from realizing your potential

• Feeling responsible for the needs and feelings of others, while ignoring your own

• Letting perfectionism affect your productivity and self-confidence

• Feeling unable to stand up for yourself, at work or your personal life

Psychotherapy can help people change these behaviors:

• Finding it difficult to manage negative emotions such as fear and anger

• Difficulty sustaining motivation to make changes in your life

• Problems prioritizing or managing your time

• Difficulties delegating or asking for help

• Repeatedly mistreating or letting down your loved ones

• Inability to disconnect, take vacations, or engage in hobbies to relieve stress

• Writer’s block or other creative impasses

• Recurring problems managing or getting along people

• Repeatedly over-working, with negative effects on your health and relationships

• Having difficulty following recommendations for managing your health

• Consistently choosing the wrong people for relationships
