Seeking help for life's problems can be difficult. The perception that independence is crucial in today's world may stand in the way of seeking help. Rest assured that no one walks through this life alone, and we all reach out for help at one time or another. It takes great strength to acknowledge and act on the realization that one needs help. Psychotherapy is a great step in exploring one's self and obtaining tools to function more effectively-and more happily-in the future. I have seen that "the American way" has become deeply seated in the "now" mentality: "I hurt-fix it!" However, something must happen between point A and point B to allow the change, and that is where psychotherapy comes in. It is an investment in the future. My favorite premise is that you either pay now-or pay later with interest. This is true on the surface, but it is also true beneath the surface. As you stuff those feelings deep inside, as you choose faulty thoughts, as your behaviors avoid the true problems you are facing-you are making choices to pay later-with interest; the problem grows. Making changes now will greatly impact and enhance your future.
