Women’s Issues
In today’s society women have assumed more responsibilities than ever. Given the number of roles we are expected to play, women are presented with unique challenges. As women we often deal with many of the same issues, we just experience them in different ways. Balancing life demands such as a family, career, parenting, friendships, and intimate relationships, taking care of yourself can get lost in the shuffle. Our culture encourages and even demands the notion of women’s role as nurturer, provider, and giver to others regardless of the personal cost. It can often seem like no one else really understands what you’re going through, and they might not really get what you’re feeling. Even worse, it can seem like everyone else has it all figured out. We are woman first, therapist second. We have worked with many women in addition to myself, have been through many of the same situations you’re struggling with.
Challenges specific to women are multifaceted and can range from a variety of issues such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Guilt
- Stress
- Negative self-talk
- Low self-esteem and self-worth
- Career Management
- Concerns about dating
- Intimacy
- Motherhood/Parenting
- Mother-Daughter relationships
- Infertility
- Divorce Transition
- Post-Partum Depression
- Friendship Conflict
These demands frequently accumulate into severe burnout. When this happens, women most frequently begin to question their effectiveness, which can result in feelings of resentment and apathy. At Healing2Flourish Counseling we understand how to work through the emotional challenges, to build resilience and to become our best selves despite the challenges we face. We approach situations first and foremost with compassion and understanding for where you are right now. Then we can evaluate goals and practical solutions collaboratively.
You are not alone. No one can know exactly how you feel, but I’d like to try. We want to hear your unique story, to understand and to help you cope, heal, and transform the way you relate to yourself and others.
