Benefits for Your Mental Health

  Sometimes we just need to be gentle with ourselves. We can be hard on our past selves for the trauma that has occurred in our lives.

Signs of Anxiety

  Do you have someone in your life that struggles with anxiety? If you do, you probably know that there isn’t a way to talk them out of their anxious moments. However, there are ways to still support them through it. One of the best ways, is to know the signs of anxiety setting in before it peaks.

Familial Trauma

Image
  I have encountered a lot of things in my time as a therapist, however, one of the common deep-rooted issues people come to me with stems from the way they grew up. Everyone has a different upbringing but there is often a deep seeded trauma that is recognized throughout our sessions that point to a cyclic pattern within the family system. It ranges from addiction, the way they were parented and punishment styles growing up, and even the way their parents would relate to them. These patterns have shaped the way my clients engage in relationships, and perceive themselves and their worth and even their world views. All of these things can be categorized under the umbrella of Familial Trauma. ‌ To learn more about Familial Trauma , head to the link in our bio to read the full blog! https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/blog/create-a-new-legacy-overcoming-and-breaking-the-cycle-of-familial-trauma/5/2023

Gender Dysphoria

  Gender dysphoria is a deeply personal and often misunderstood struggle. It can create an internal battle, where one's perception of their body doesn't align with their gender identity.

It is vital that we foster a compassionate space where individuals affected by gender dysmorphia can find support, understanding, and resources for their healing journey. Here at Life By Design Therapy, we create a space that is just that. Our therapist Leah is passionate about supporting those in all stages of transition.
