Shame, Guilt, Self-Esteem
When past experiences cause shame, we are held back in the present. We can develop new ways of understanding the past to begin shedding the fetters of shame.
As children, we dreamed of being adults so that we could be the master of our own lives and writers of our own futures. That dream is still attainable, and counselling and psychotherapy can help you achieve it – even if you feel “stuck” today.
You may feel that something is holding you back from achieving the things you had hoped for. Or you may find yourself ruminating on negative, self-defeating thoughts. These barriers to personal progress are often rooted in shame or guilt. I will work with you to uncover and rethink those roots.
Together, we can find new ways to understand the past and empower you to create your desired future. You will learn how to better understand yourself and overcome feelings of shame. With a newfound and healthier sense of self, you will be equipped to confidently become the author of the future you desire.
It takes strength — not weakness — to seek counselling.
