Developing Personal Understanding Can Boost Your Professional Success...
If you've even seen the movie The Family Man (and, if you haven't, I highly recommend it), you know that we can be on top of the world professionally and find our lives largely meaningless if our personal relationships are a mess, we're in poor health, or we don't have someone to share our life with.
Many people may consider "success" to be an objective thing... Something you arrive at. But, in reality, little could be more subjective.
Personally speaking, professional success alone isn't enough... I've been down that path.
I am an ex-techie, having been a software engineer at companies such as Ciena, Palm, and Microsoft for over two decades prior to becoming a professional counselor and psychotherapist. And, at least for me, I found that professional success alone didn't lead to the sense of fulfillment in life I knew was possible. There was something missing...
After a good deal of "soul searching," asking myself a lot of difficult questions, and no small amount of doing my own work, I came to realize that relationships are what matter most... Relationships with the other people in my life – my friends, family, partner and above all my relationship with my self.
Success, for me, is all about striking the right work/life balance that allows me to do the work I love, as well as take care of my personal needs and spend time with the people I care most about.
But, in order to achieve this balance, you need to know what it is you value most... And that requires personal understanding.
And then there's the personal knowledge and work that's often required just to create the professional success you desire.
Just the day-to-day stress of many of our careers is often enough to cause symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Then there are the problems communicating with co-workers, anger management issues, the stress of deadlines, and fears of speaking in public or of accepting more responsibility and taking on management roles, that each of us face on a regular basis in our professional lives.
Many of these challenges can be overcome on our own...
But, when the same problems occur over and over again... When unhelpful thoughts and feelings keep spinning in our heads taking up our mental bandwidth, it's not just our work that suffers. We suffer too.
And when we suffer, our work suffers... It becomes a vicious cycles that's hard to break.
Unfortunately, our society still doesn't value our mental and emotional health as much as our physical and fiscal health and well-being.
While most people wouldn't hesitate to seek a doctor's or lawyer's professional assistance when faced with medical or legal issues, many of these same people don't even consider seeking professional help when faced with mental or emotional issues that interfere with their ability to function.
Fortunately, you don't have to make the same mistake...
Professional Counseling and Psychotherapy CAN Help
It's often pretty easy to see other people's self-perpetuating problems or identify the poor choices they've made. But we rarely enjoy the same clarity of vision and objectivity when it comes to examining our own struggles.
I mean, if the changes you need to make to achieve your goals were obvious and simple, you likely would've figured them out by now.
But, making conscious what is unconscious can be extremely difficult...
And, even when you know the changes you need to make, how often do you find yourself unable to follow through?
Family, friends, work, relationships, and our lives in general all seem to have a way of demanding our attention and disrupting our efforts to engage in the journey of self-discovery and achieve the success we know is possible.
This is why attending professional counseling and psychotherapy can help you overcome any career-related issues you're facing, as well as achieve the work/life balance that's right for you...
1. Professional counseling offers a safe, supportive, confidential, and contained space in which you can explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and beliefs on a regular, consistent basis.
2. The professional counseling services I offer can help you understand the source of your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and behaviors and figure out which aren't serving your best interests.
3. I can help you learn a variety of mindfulness techniques and other skills and tools so you can navigate strong emotions – cope with and overcome anxiety, anger, stress, and depression – without being overwhelmed by them, as well as communicate better with others and understand what it is you want most out of life so you can work towards achieving the success that matters most to you.
So, if you're ready to start exploring your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs, reclaim your mental and emotional bandwidth and put it to better use, and get in touch with who you really are, and create both the personal and professional success you desire... Counseling and psychotherapy CAN help.
If you're still hesitant, I understand...
As I mentioned, I'm an ex-techie, and I was skeptical before I started attending counseling and psychotherapy. But, the experience changed my life... So much so that that's why I'm here speaking with you today.
I want to help you create the balance between your left and right brain, between thinking and feeling, between doing and being that's so integral to living a full and complete life.
I understand what it means to waste my mental cycles in trivial things and how powerful a feeling it is to reclaim them... To know that you can devote your self to anything with 100% focus.
And, if you're still hesitant, let me ask you... What have you got to lose?
You can either keep doing the same things you've been doing, which haven't been working or you wouldn't be here. Or you can finally get the professional help you need and deserve.
Are you ready to let go of the subconscious patterns and beliefs that aren't bringing you the results you desire? Are you ready to summon the courage and strength to choose your own purpose and create the life you seek?
If so, then why wait? Contact me at 650-417-3561 or at [email protected] to ask any questions you have or schedule a free, initial 20-minute phone consultation. I look forward to speaking with you and supporting you in any way I can.
