Everyone Deserves A Little Happiness
R
esearch suggests that 1 in 4 of us will suffer from some form of depression or anxiety in our lifetime. These conditions are very common and can strike anyone at any time, no matter how successful, happy or settled you might be or seem to others. Does this describe you or a loved one? Our understanding of mental health conditions is improving year on year. We now understand much more about how and why these conditions develop and what makes some people more susceptible than others. The good news, is that treatments are now available which are proven to work in tackling what can be life changing conditions. First amongst these is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a form of therapy in which the therapist and client work together to identify what is causing the problem. The focus of the treatment is then on identifying how your thoughts impact on your feelings and behaviour. We then work in a structured way to change these in around 6-12 one hour sessions.
There is growing evidence to show that CBT is the most effective treatment for depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other anxiety related conditions. such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). It is now the treatment of choice offered by the NHS. However, waiting lists for treatment are currently significant in most areas, often 6 months or more. This means that many people are left struggling with a condition which can affect their relationships, work, studying and family lives. An alternative is to seek private treatment with a qualified and registered therapist. Insight Therapies offer local appointments at very reasonable cost and offer a free, no obligation, confidential conversation about whether CBT might work for you. Why wait when you could reclaim your happiness and see a brighter future with a simple phone call or e-mail?
