In Person Therapists in Davie, FL

It's painful to see my child upset. I can see that something is wrong, but don't even know where to start. I want to fix it, but I'm feeling lost, anxious, and don't know what to do. They don't go out with friends anymore, grades are dropping, and they rarely come out of their room. When I try to talk to them, they either shut down completely or explode. Then I lose it and it gets only gets worse. I just want my child to be successful and happy, but can't seem to figure out how. I'm worried that something terrible might happen and I would never forgive myself...

Facing difficult challenges in our lives can be frightening. It can trigger us to face uncomfortable emotions. However, it can be a time for healing and growth. Each of us has a unique path, but sometimes on this path we end up feeling stuck. Sometimes we do not recognize what makes us feel stuck. Maybe it is trauma that we are not ready to discuss, maybe it's the loss of a loved one, or maybe it is struggling to balance what to hold onto and what to let go of.

Are you truly happy with the life you are living? Do you show up in the world as your most authentic self, or do you let the fear of judgement hold you back? Fear can be a powerful thing, it can keep us from giving up before we have even started. It can lead us to listen to that negative voice in our head that says "You'll never succeed, so why try?". What would your life look like if you didn't care about others' opinions? If it would look nothing like it looks now, then maybe its time to make some changes.
