Breaking new ground

Do any of the situations below sound familiar? If so, you should reach out for help-

In general, just talking about your problems and getting professional advice can provide relief.

​​​

- Although you actually like your job, you increasingly feel stressed and overworked. You don't get any recognition from those around you, and everyone seems to want more from you or criticize you. 

​

- None of the things you used to enjoy are exciting anymore. You feel weak and tired, and you have trouble sleeping. Even the simplest tasks seem difficult and stressful. 

​

- People around you say that you have changed. Your thoughts often revolve around the same things. Life seems increasingly exhausting and sometimes even meaningless. 

​

- You wish you could just withdraw entirely, but at the same time, you feel lonely and abandoned. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with yourself, ashamed, and think that you are a burden on those around you.

​​

- You worry, feel restless and anxious, and experience fear in various situations, e.g., fear of flying, fear of exams, fear of talking to your boss, fear of approaching the opposite sex, fear of certain animals, fear of heights, fear of open spaces, or fear of confined spaces. 

​

- erhaps you are even afraid of fear itself. You try to avoid situations that trigger your fear, but it leaves you feeling increasingly restricted in your everyday life. 

​​

- You are chronically dissatisfied with yourself. You doubt your appearance, your abilities, and your character. You think that others will only accept and like you if they are perfect in everything. You have little confidence in yourself because you are afraid of making mistakes. You set yourself high goals and constantly push yourself to achieve even more. You don't even trust good feedback and passed exams. You live in constant fear of being exposed as incompetent or inadequate.​​

​

- You have the impression that your child does not behave like other children? Tantrums and problems at daycare and school are the norm. Homework is torture for both you and your child. Teachers complain about a lack of cooperation and bad behavior, and you wonder whether your child is under- or overchallenged.

​​

- You feel uncertain about parenting, even though you have already sought information and talked to other parents. You want the best for your child, but you don't know what to do because none of the advice seems to apply to your child or work.

​​​

- You suspect, or perhaps have already been diagnosed, that you and your child have to live with the challenges of AD(H)D. You feel the psychological strain as someone affected by the condition, as well as the expectations and lack of understanding from those around you. You clearly feel the burden and have little access to the positive aspects and opportunities of this disorder.
