5 THINGS TO EXPECT IN YOUR FIRST ONLINE THERAPY SESSION By Nia Saunders, PhD In the time of coronavirus, we are all adjusting to many stressors: concern about our health and that of our loved ones, school or workplace closures,and financial worries, among others. Many people are experiencing understandable increases in anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Fortunately, online sessions (also known as teletherapy) are an option for staying connected while observing the guidelines around social distancing. Video or phone sessions can allow you to maintain the connection you have with your therapist or develop a new relationship if you are seeking therapy for the first time. Consent:  Similar rules apply in online sessions as in the actual therapy room. The first is that you provide informed consent. This means you agree to treatment and participate willingly, you are aware of the risks/benefits, and you can withdraw from treatment at any time. Your therapist will obtain your consent

Online marital counseling, otherwise known as couples counseling and relationship counseling, is exactly what its name suggests. It’s virtually the same as online therapy, however it enables two people in a relationship to come together, in a safe environment, to help improve their bond. If you are looking to rekindle your love, or are looking for that next level of intimacy or emotional healing,  online marriage counseling  can play a pivotal role in this. https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/marriage-counseling

Sadness, feeling down, and having a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities are familiar feelings for all of us. But if they persist and affect our lives substantially, the issue may be depression. Depression is the main cause of disability worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It can affect adults, adolescents, and children. If you’re ready to work on your depression with one of our holistic therapists,  contact us today . https://www.lifebydesigntherapy.com/depression-therapy  

Life by Design Therapy Having a traumatic experience or witnessing extraordinarily stressful events can have a profound impact on our psychological and emotional well-being. If you’ve ever felt that your life or safety has been put at risk, it can shatter your sense of security and make you feel helpless. The important thing to remember is that there are many different causes of trauma. It’s not the circumstance or event in itself that signals trauma, but what your emotional experience was of the event. Not everyone will react to the same event in the same way — for example, some people would find falling from a height traumatic, while others choose to jump out of planes for fun. The more frightened or helpless you feel, the more likely you are to be traumatised.
