Common area of focus: Anger

Anger is often a secondary emotion.

This means that anger is the emotion that presents on the surface, but underneath is another emotion, such as fear or sadness. It is common for someone who experiences anger to be altogether unaware of the underlying emotion. This is one reason that counseling can be beneficial in helping with anger concerns.

Discovering and working through emotions underlying the anger helps it to dissipate.

In the meantime, while those emotions are being sought out, counselors can equip clients with a variety of calming and grounding skills they can use to cope with anger when it arises. These tools can help mitigate anger before it escalates and becomes problematic.
​Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness are excellent modalities for treating anger issues.

Common area of focus: Anxiety

Anxiety is a psychological and physiological reaction to perceived threats. In small doses, anxiety is very helpful. It protects us from danger, focuses our attention on problems, and can drive us to action.

But when it is too severe or too frequent, anxiety becomes debilitating.

Do you feel overworked, like life is coming at you at the speed of light and like everything is out of control? No matter what you do, you can't seem to relax? You're stressed and uptight much of the time? You snap and become angry at the smallest things? If so, you may be experiencing anxiety.  Anxiety can be brought on by life circumstances and experiences or it can be a more chronic problem, called generalized anxiety. 

Those who experience generalized anxiety may find that they tend to be consumed with worry.

If you worry that you forgot to turn off your curling iron before leaving for work and are convinced that fire will result, or you call the nanny ten times a day to check on your precious bundle of joy, you may be an excessive worrier. If these worries cause you significant distress so that you have trouble functioning in your daily life, you may have generalized anxiety.

Whether you are in a season of being overwhelmed or are consumed with worry and angst, a counselor can help.

At Judah Christian Counseling, we have counselors who are trained to help you work through your anxiety issues. They will assist you in discovering what triggers your anxiety and will teach you valuable skills, such as grounding techniques and thought stopping, to help you cope with excess anxiety.
Some popular forms of therapy for anxiety are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness.

Common area of focus: Codependency

Codependency is a topic that is maybe difficult to define and understand. Perhaps the simplest way to explain codependency is with the phrase, "I'm not okay if you're not okay."

Codependent individuals cannot rest or be at peace if the object of their codependency is under duress.

They feel they must do something to correct, or "fix," the situation, or rescue the person. They take on responsibility for the well-being of the other person. They feel their love and acceptance is gained through doing for the other person, even when they want to say no. They enable the other person to continue poor behaviors, habits, or addictions. These are just some of the ways in which a person can display codependent tendencies.

It's important to understand and recognize when these behaviors are present in relationships.

These tendencies can be detrimental not only to the health of the relationship, but also to the individuals themselves. Many times, codependent patterns begin when one partner in the relationship struggles with an addiction or an illness of another sort. Once these patterns of behavior are established in a relationship, they are difficult to break. It is helpful to have the expertise of a counselor to guide you through setting up new boundaries in the relationship as you seek to do away with these unhealthy codependent patterns.
Some effective forms of therapy for codependency are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Codependents Anonymous.

Common area of focus: Depression

Most people probably associate depression with being sad.

While this can certainly be the case, depression involves much more than merely a feeling of sadness. There is generally a loss of interest in formerly enjoyable activities, a lack of energy, a change in sleep patterns, and a change in appetite and weight.
Those who suffer from depression can sometimes present with symptoms of anger, irritability, or weepiness. Many times, depressed individuals withdraw from friends and family, isolating themselves from others. Keeping up with everyday tasks and responsibilities becomes overwhelming. At times, depression even causes individuals to contemplate suicide. ​

Depression comes in all shapes and sizes.

Sometimes depression is the temporary result of a life circumstance. It lasts for a relatively limited amount of time, perhaps a few weeks or months. Other times, depression is a more persistent problem. In these cases, a person tends to experience depressive symptoms for prolonged periods of time. Some individuals deal with depression off and on for most of their lives. Depression can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic statues. ​

Working with a counselor can be beneficial.

It's helpful to have someone assist you in sorting through the many thoughts and feelings that go along with depression. Additionally, a counselor can equip you with a set of coping skills that will aid you in your recovery progress.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a preferred treatment method that many of our counselors use to help with depressive symptoms. Other methods are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

Common area of focus: Grief & Loss

When you think of grief and loss, you probably think first of loss from death.

Losing a loved one to death is something we will all have to face at some point in our lives. Sometimes, having someone walk with you through the phases of grief is helpful as you process your loss. Seeking counseling during this time can be of great benefit.​

While death may be the first thing you think of when you think of grief and loss, it certainly is not the only type of loss we encounter in life.

You may have lost of job or a relationship. Perhaps you've received a devastating diagnosis and are grieving over lost health and well-being. Maybe you're experiencing an empty-nest or have moved away from home. Whatever your grief or loss, counseling can help you navigate your thoughts and feelings surrounding it. ​
Some productive forms of therapy for grief and loss are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and group therapy.

Common area of focus: Self-Esteem

In our current culture, it is common for a person to have a low self-esteem.

We live in a society that tells us we should have it all and do it all. We should be a success in every area of life - school, extra-curriculars, careers, family, etc. We should be fit and beautiful. We should be smart, talented, and wealthy. We should have a career and a family. We should have all of these things, and we should be exceedingly happy because of it. ​

So, what happens when reality hits and we see that we don't have all of these things the way society tells us we should?

Well, many people internalize it as personal failure. They begin to feel badly about themselves and put themselves down for not living up to their own expectations. Low self-esteem can cause us to feel as if we are incapable of accomplishing our goals. It can keep us from going after our dreams. Additionally, low self-esteem can lead to a host of other problems, such as depression and anxiety.​

If you suffer from low self-esteem, wouldn't it be a relief to let go of the self-doubt that plagues you?

Wouldn't it be nice to be free from the negative self-talk that you've been subjected to for so long? Speaking with a counselor may be just what you need to find that freedom.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an excellent source of treatment for correcting self-esteem issues.
