Everyone experiences emotional pain at some time in their life. Our emotional health influences every part of our lives, and when emotional distress becomes severe or debilitating, it may be time to consider therapeutic support. One person's story can involve many losses. Not only loss through the death of a loved one, but loss of a sense of self after a experiencing something like a separation, a major illness, an accident or a retrenchment. Symptoms of loss are often characterised by sadness or loneliness or grief, but these emotions can often be hidden under feelings like anger, guilt or anxiety. Adults seeking therapy experience a wide range of problems such as relationship stress, problematic and recurring thoughts, low self-esteem, and feelings of tension or sadness. Some adults come to talk about themselves. Some come to talk about their relationships with their partners or children. Some come to talk about their distress with their original family. Anxiety, depression and relationship distress can often come from a combination of these factors that affect how our needs are met and how we feel about ourselves as a result.
