They may not always be so blatantly obvious to others, but internal conflicts and issues can gnaw at you from the inside, leaving you frustrated and feeling empty. Nothing can be more exasperating than to suffer through something that you feel that others cannot empathize with.
If not dealt with adequately, your internal problems could begin to affect other aspects of your life, such as your health and the quality of your relationships and your career. Most of the time we don’t know why we are doing behavior that is disruptive to ourselves. Perhaps you need to see a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental professional to assist you in navigating new life paths.
Mental health or behavioral health issues can really interrupt an individual’s personal life at times, especially in severe cases. Having the ability to be free from depression, anxiety, addictive tendencies or other emotional issues can free one to live the life they were meant to live.
Therapy continues to play an incredibly important role in our society more than ever. For those who may be suffering from mental health challenges, or who have a friend or family member who is struggling, it is never too late to start getting the help that you or they might need. Reach out to your local mental health professional and begin to improve your life in ways you never thought possible before. Due to Dr. Cooper-Byram’s teaching and additional training, she is thoroughly familiar with several models for working with couples and families. Her therapeutic model most closely resembles that of Sue Johnson and Emotion-Focused Therapy and Bader and Pearson on the developmental stages in couple relationships. Her couples work matches the developmental needs of the relationship. She integrates the techniques from the research of John Gottman and Howard Markman as well. She also had advanced training at the sex therapy.
