Examples of Challenges addressed in individual therapy
|
Individual therapy can be utilized for a variety of things. A common reason is people might notice feeling down or worried. In other cases, maybe they have experienced a loss, a traumatic event, or are struggling with meaning. In other cases maybe there is just a deep sense of "something isn't right". Therapy can be a great way to sort out difficult experiences and then find a way to move forward.
At Fowler Family Therapy, we examine the context you are in, your history, your values, and a variety of other factors to address the core issue. One way to think of this is to put it in medical terms. Do you have a cough because of the flu or the common cold? Cough drops likely will help for a bit if you have the flu, but not address the real problem. We want to address the deeper issue to lessen the chances of needing to return to therapy. We want to work together with you to do that. People often have really good questions about what to expect from individual therapy and how I might address those in session. I welcome all questions because I recognize you're trusting us with getting the help you need. Set up a free consultation today so you can get started.

What is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)?
|
|
EMDR is an evidenced-based approach (meaning there's evidence to prove it works) to deal with many things-trauma, depression, anxiety, fears, obsessions, and more. This approach is a great form of treatment in many cases. Check out the video below for more information.
EMDR has done incredible things regarding trauma for many people. People often think of trauma as things like sexual assault or experiences veterans have in war. These often are traumatic, but they are not the only traumas people experience. I encourage people to not worry about the label of it and just consider if it has an impact now. A more helpful view is does it 1) change the way we think of ourselves, 2) change the way we think of others, and/or 3) change the way we experience the world. This helps us not be so limiting in our understanding and just focus on fixing the problem and the things that go along with it. |
