Overcoming stigma

My goal is to make counseling in Amarillo the norm and not filled with stigma. We have a problem in this area and in our country. Every one of us struggles with emotional difficulties that cause chaos in our lives, but we have convinced ourselves that this is normal. We tell ourselves that feeling angry all the time is normal. We tell ourselves that overwhelming stress is normal. We tell ourselves that seeing a world that is grey is normal. We repress difficult experiences and live with constant anxieties and tell ourselves that this is "just what life is". We do all these things that are not normal to help us feel that we are, in fact, normal.

The result is predictable. Broken homes, broken families, heart attacks, suicide, constant illness, and lost dreams. A community that looks healthy but is dying inside from the desire to be normal.

The truth is that normal is not normal. Nothing about us is normal. Normal is a lie that tears apart the individual and the community for the desire to fit in.

Each of us is an individual. We are not automaton machines. We all have different experiences that build us into a decidedly not normal bei.

That is why using counseling in Amarillo is important. That is why Mental Health care should be used as primary health care. In the same way that we experience the effects of the flu, unresolved past experiences and unhealthy assumptions impact our daily lives. Using Mental Health care as primary care helps improve our daily lives, in the same way, that medication resolves the flu. We treat the illness and the symptoms to cure the patient. The result is the opposite of normal. A strong individual who is capable of living a life, that if not free of stress and hardship, is strong enough to weather their storms.

I am counseling Amarillo to build strength of mind that is unparalleled. Let's talk today about how I can help you.
