Do Any of These Statements Describe You?

I feel worried or anxious a lot of the time. I know it’s excessive, but I can’t seem to let things go. It’s affecting my sleep and how I function during the day.
I’ve been struggling to be happy for a long time. I often feel depressed or dissatisfied with things in my life. I am not even sure why I feel this way.
Painful things happened in my past that I can’t seem to get over. I know what they are, but they still affect me and I can’t get beyond them.
I often feel angry or irritable. I’m not sure exactly why and I have trouble controlling it. Sometimes, I may not even be aware of it, but other people have complained about it.
I find myself doing the same things over and over when I know I shouldn’t. I just can’t seem to control myself.
I tend to be critical and defensive. I know it has a negative effect on other people, but I feel powerless to change.
I often feel jealous or insecure in relationships. I am terrified of being rejected or abandoned.
I’m constantly stressed. I work too hard, sometimes taking on more responsibilities than I should. It’s hard for me to relax, and it’s starting to affect my health.
I’m really hard on myself. I’m overly critical of what I do or how I look. No matter what I accomplish I don’t feel good about myself. Nothing is ever good enough.
Fear holds me back from the things I want to or should do. It keeps me from trying new things, or makes me freeze up in performance situations.
I don’t feel comfortable with who I am. Sometimes I feel awkward or anxious in social situations. I often wish I could be different, or that I could just feel better about myself.
It’s hard for me to trust enough to open up. I desperately want to connect with others, but sometimes I’m not even sure how to do that.

All of these issues can cause problems in relationships, or may be the result of relationship problems. If any of the above statements apply to you, my approach to therapy for relationship problems, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem could be a good fit for you.
