There are many reasons why we disconnect from ourselves. The important piece is that one starts to become aware of the disconnect or imbalance in their life. While reconnecting with ourselves may seem like an unfamiliar concept, this is where our answers lie for balance and healing. A health and wellness coach can help guide this process, supporting us as we shift the lens through which we see the world so life may feel a little less heavy.

2. How do I know if I need therapy?
Therapy can be helpful for a variety of reasons, including feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, or dealing with significant life changes. If you’re feeling stuck or unable to manage your emotions, therapy may be beneficial.
3. What types of therapy are there?
There are many types of psychotherapy, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns.

4. How long does therapy take?
The length of therapy varies depending on the individual and the issues they’re addressing. Some people may benefit from short-term therapy (a few months), while others may need longer-term treatment. The frequency of sessions also varies, but weekly sessions are common, especially at the beginning.
5. Is therapy confidential?
Yes, psychotherapy sessions are typically confidential, meaning what you say in therapy is not shared without your consent. There are exceptions, such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if children or elders are being abused , or if the court of law requests information.
6. What can I expect during a session?
In a typical session, you and your therapist will discuss the issues that brought you to therapy. The therapist may ask questions to understand your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The session is a safe space for you to explore your emotions and develop coping strategies.
7. Do I need to have a specific problem to go to therapy?
Not necessarily. Some people go to therapy for general personal growth, self-improvement, or to gain a deeper understanding of themselves. It’s not just for people with severe issues or mental health diagnoses.
8. Will therapy make me feel better right away?
Therapy can help you feel better over time, but it’s a process that often takes time. In the beginning, you may feel a bit vulnerable or uncomfortable, but as you build a relationship with your therapist and gain insight into your thoughts and emotions, you’ll likely begin to notice improvements.
9. How do I find the right therapist?
Finding the right therapist involves considering factors like their expertise, approach to therapy, and how comfortable you feel with them. You can look for therapists through online directories, recommendations from friends or healthcare providers, or your insurance provider.
10. Does therapy really work?
Yes, therapy can be highly effective. Research shows that psychotherapy can lead to improvements in mental health, emotional well-being, and life satisfaction. The success of therapy depends on factors like the quality of the therapeutic relationship, the techniques used, and your active participation.
11. What should I do if I don’t feel comfortable with my therapist?
It’s important to feel comfortable and understood in therapy. If you don’t feel a connection, it’s okay to discuss your concerns with your therapist. If the issue persists, you may want to consider finding another therapist who is a better fit for you.
12. Is therapy expensive?
Therapy costs vary depending on factors such as location, the therapist’s qualifications, and the type of insurance you have. Many therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income, and some insurance plans cover therapy sessions.
