Happiness, or rather peace and joy is something that comes from within. Something that is influenced by our thought life, the way we think. Negative and irrational thoughts are self-defeating and confidence killers. Our perspective, the way we think and view the world affects our feelings. As Aaron Beck, father of Cognitive Therapy states, "It is not bad things happening to us, but it is our interpretation of them that makes all the difference."
Comments such as "Just get over it" or "You're being so dramatic" are not helpful, because a person has to work through and process their thoughts and feelings before they can move past them. Therapy allows individuals to feel heard and understood in a safe environment, so that they can then gain insight and the tools to learn how to cope with various challenges, difficult life circumstances, and unfortunate events.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, wishing things would get better, and thinking that it is impossible. Do you find yourself saying things such as "I can't help it, " "I cant control it, " "There's got to be more to life than this, " "Can't I catch a break, " "There's got to be a better way, " "Why can't I be normal?"

Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you which is good and pleasing and perfect.

Report
My wife went because she was facing terrible emotional abuse at work (that she is unable to quit due to contract requirements). Trying to seek ways to deal with this, my wife set up an appointment with the owner, Dr Gawrych. Instead of helping my wife, she said didn't believe my wife and basically said that the her abusive boss was not abusing her.
Naturally, this did not help and made my wife more distraught. Please do not go to Dr Gawrych if you are dealing with abuse, she will not help.
