I'm Dr. Dennis London, a licensed psychologist in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I know you want to be confident, easy-going, and present in your life, but you may struggle feeling overwhelmed and stuck.
In order to cope effectively with life’s challenges, it’s important for you to understand your current patterns and the reason you’re unable to meet your goals. Then, you can begin to change them to show up as your ideal self.
The problem is, it’s difficult to figure this cycle out on your own. Daily stressors are unavoidable, and most of us were never taught how to communicate, manage difficult emotions, or cope in general.
In turn, you might use unworkable coping strategies (e.g., shutting down) that aren’t helpful in the long run and usually make the problem worse.
What makes this even more difficult is a history of trauma that shatters everything you believed to be true (e.g., the world is generally safe, good things happen to good people). These changes to your perceptions create unhelpful thoughts (e.g., ALL people are bad or I don’t have ANY control anymore) and can set you up for unhelpful reactions (e.g., yelling at someone you love) as a form of self-protection. These reactions usually lead to feelings of guilt or shame. Now begins a cycle in which you feel you can’t break free.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
- First, we’ll build a supportive and trusting relationship where you feel comfortable.
- After exploring what’s holding you back, we will collaboratively begin an evidence-based treatment to help you meet your goals.
- I always want to provide you with personalized care and support in a way that feels right for you. I also always encourage feedback along the way.
