Making the choice to start therapy is certainly a big one. Some people are thrilled at the idea of starting therapy, while others aren’t quite sure if it’s the right choice for them. If this is something that you identify with, then you’ve come to the right place.
At Avalon Malibu, we love seeing the benefits that our clients get from therapy. Therapy can be an exceptional way to take care of your mental health and that’s why we offer a variety of different types of therapies here at Avalon Malibu. Let’s go over some of the top signs that it may be time for you to consider starting therapy.
Changes in Sleep
If you’ve been sleeping too much or too little, that could be a sign that you need to start therapy. Our sleep patterns can give us valuable information about our mental health, so it’s important to make sure that you’re paying attention to how many hours you’re sleeping in a 24-hour period.
Big Life Transitions
Coping with big life transitions, such as a divorce or big move, can be challenging. Starting therapy can be a great way to discuss these transitions with a professional and make sure that you’re feeling supported. You shouldn’t have to deal with big life transitions alone and beginning therapy can be a great way to get the individual support that you need at this period in your life.
Mood Changes
Any significant, consistent changes in your mood can be a sign that you may need to start therapy. Especially if your moods have been impacting your day-to-day life, it’s important that you get support and work with a therapist who can help you develop positive coping mechanisms that you can use to deal with changes in your mood. A therapist can provide you with the level of support you need to thrive, so don’t be afraid to ask for help.
