Social change can be scary, overwhelming, and difficult to handle. However, Carol offers support and research-based help to assist you in developing healthy coping skills to effectively manage an ever-changing society.
Learning to Cope with Social Change Through Therapy
The world is ever-changing...
Regardless of the direction, the fact is that it is always moving, and it’s critical that people feel they are able to manage their daily struggles. Carol understands the importance of strong, effective coping strategies and shares how therapy can help below.
Change Isn’t Always Welcomed
Let’s be honest: no one is going to like every change that’s being made. Changes in the world and society can do anything from slowing your professional progress to going against your core values.
The good news is that you don’t have to like it – you have the freedom to feel how you feel. However, being unable to accept how things are and function with change can make life difficult, to say the least.
Change Is Often Misunderstood
In our current times, we have both the blessing and the curse of technology. While it allows everyone to connect and share their opinions, it often leads to misinformation. As such, it can lead to confusion, frustration, and complete rebellion against changes that might actually be positive when understood.
The Role of Therapy
Therapy can provide an incredible avenue for learning to cope with changes in society and life. First and foremost, your therapist is there to be a non-judgmental party, providing a safe space for you to vent and truly explore how you feel about what is going on.
Your therapist can then help you dig in to understand why you feel this way and develop personalized techniques for adapting, such as educating yourself or improving interpersonal communication skills, without losing who you are in the process. When those changes impact you on a personal level, such as prompting a career change, therapy can help you find a way forward.
