Stability and Balance, The Core Understanding
Imagine sitting at a counter on a stool. You feel stability and balance, making you safe on the ground. This is what we need in life too. Think of life like a four-legged stool, each leg represents four fundamental foundations that we need to live a balanced and fulfilled life. Each leg represents the following:
The Four Leg Approach to Life
Ideally we would like to have four solid legs on our stool to keep us grounded and safe. If we need to we could even sit and be stable with 3 solid legs. And even with two, we can place our feet on the floor and maintain balance. However, things can get really difficult with three or more broken legs. Perhaps you are unsatisfied with (or lose) your job, are having a hard time in your relationship, and feel like there is no support system. Life can feel overwhelming.
How Therapy Can Help You Achieve Stability and Balance in Life
When it comes to looking for stability and balance, counseling can help. A counselor can provide you with a space to talk about what is happening in your life, explore possible solutions, and work through the challenges that are keeping you from having a balanced, fulfilling life. They can be an impartial listener and offer insight into things that may not have been seen before. With their help, you can develop the skills needed to move forward and reach your goals. For instance, a counselor can provide you with tools to help manage stress, improve communication, boost self-esteem, and increase overall wellbeing.
Therapy can also provide a safe place for exploration. In this space, you can talk about difficult topics, explore different aspects of your life and identity, and work through painful emotions. As you gain insight into yourself, a counselor can help you learn how to cope with the challenges that arise in everyday life. Ultimately, counseling can be an invaluable resource for creating lasting change and stability.
We’re complex, we’re Human, We Need a Voice of Reason
As humans, we tend to focus on the broken legs of our stool. We focus on the things that are negative in our lives. It is important to remember that we can focus on ANY of the legs to build up resilience and improve our mood. We can place more focus on the solid leg to build strength to start rebuilding a broken one, or work on a partially broken one. This is why we are here to help you re-build your broken legs. This is what we specialize in. Through active and evidence based strategies in individual , group and family therapy, we can help you re-structure your stool to improve the quality of your life.
