I feel stressed and overwhelmed.
Sometimes, I feel like I don’t measure up to the women I see around me.
I just want to be able to balance my job, my friends, and my family.
Now that I am a mom and a wife, I feel like I have lost all sense of myself as a woman.
Women Face A Lot of Pressure in Today’s Society
There is a lot of pressure for women to “have it all.” On television and social media, you see women with smiles on their faces while they juggle the many different parts of their life. This may make you feel insecure. Because, right now, you may find it hard to be joyful. But, that is okay. You don’t have to be anywhere other than exactly where you are right now. In fact, where you are now is a great place to start recapturing the joy you once felt.
Your life as a woman is complex. The issues you are having are unique. But the good news is, the therapists at The Counseling Center at Cinco Ranch treat women’s issues by addressing all of the parts of your life that come together to form what it means to you to be a woman.
Common Women’s Issues to Consider for Therapy in Katy, TX
Depression Therapy
Women are more likely to be diagnosed with depression. Depression is more than just being sad. The symptoms of depression can make it hard to function in your daily life.
Therapy can help decrease the symptoms of depression over time and provide coping skills for the more difficult days.
Anxiety Treatment
Women are also more likely to be diagnosed with anxiety disorders. In fact, women are biologically more likely to experience stress and anxiety due to hormones and brain chemistry. The symptoms of anxiety may make it hard to concentrate and focus on anything other than what is worrying you. But anxiety counseling can help you find relief.
Relationship Issues for Women
Women have so many relationships to maintain. The pressure to be a great mom, sister, romantic partner, friend, boss, etc. is so high. If there is conflict in a relationship, women often take responsibility for that “failure” even if that’s not really the whole truth. Are you feeling the pressure to be the better person? Looking to stop making the same mistakes, get better at communication, and really be heard? Therapy provides a safe space to process these feelings and learn and practice healthy communication.
Self-Care
You feel sluggish. Sometimes, it feels like you’re walking in a dark fog. This is your body’s way of telling you to slow down and take some time for yourself. Women are often pressured to take care of everyone else and put themselves and forget about their needs. But, making time to take care of yourself on a regular basis can be very empowering. In counseling, you can learn about many different ways to practice self-care.
Motherhood
Being a mom is amazing… most of the time. There is really nothing else like it. But, sometimes your stress and worry overwhelm you. Maybe, you worry that you’re not doing enough or not present enough. You might be struggling to balance your never-ending list of things to do with spending quality time with your kids or partner. Whether you’re a new mom or somewhere in the middle of your journey of building a family, the pressure and the worries don’t stop. Counseling can give you a space to learn to cope with the pressures. This will allow you to focus on enjoying the best parts of motherhood.
Work-Life Balance
Do you ever feel like work has taken over your life? Does it feel like your life is an endless loop of work, (some) sleep, work, and repeat? Learning how to balance the responsibilities of your job with the things that bring you joy is important. Taking back control of your time and your energy is possible. Learning to cope with the stress of your job and focusing on your health will help you achieve a good work-life balance.
Self-Esteem
How do you see yourself? How do you think others see you? Having positive self-esteem and learning to love yourself can lead to increased confidence, feelings of empowerment, and self-advocacy. Your therapist can help you challenge and get rid of the negative beliefs that have been sticking around. Then, you will be able to see all of the great qualities you have.
