Women face a variety of issues in today’s culture. Here are some examples of things that may be burdening you. Low sense of self worth - This is an issue many of us face in life. Sometimes we face periods of our lives where we experience more insecurity and self-contempt more than others. Learning to accept your own heart, personality, and beauty can help you walk with confidence but oftentimes we cannot find this on our own.
Pregnancy and Postpartum issues - Pregnancy is a beautiful and exciting gift, but it can produce much fear of the future and health complications. Postpartum depression or postpartum psychosis are two separate conditions that typically occur within the first month after childbirth. Postpartum depression is characterized by intense sadness or anxiety that lasts more than two weeks. Postpartum psychosis is less common, and causes an altered sense of reality, hallucinations, dramatic mood changes, paranoia, and suicidal or homicidal thoughts.
Infertility - Infertility is a challenge that faces many women. Not only does infertility produce deep emotional pain, but it also impacts our relationships, fiances, and how we see ourselves. Getting help during this painful season can help you navigate the highs and lows of infertility.
Problems in your sex life - This is a quite intimate area of your life and it means it’s even more difficult to find help. Often we don’t understand that some of the issues we face are quite common and finding more fulfillment in our sexuality is possible. These issues can range from a variety of causes from a lack of understanding of anatomy to sexual trauma that affects the way we see sex.
Hormonal changes - We will all experience these at different times in our life due to puberty, childbirth, stress, healthy complications, or menopause. Hormones affect everything in our bodies - blood pressure, metabolism, sleep, sex drives, mood, stress, and even how our brain functions. Along with treatment from a medical professional, counseling can help us manage the symptoms and cope during a time that our hormones are out of balance.
Finding help through a licensed professional can help you navigate through any of these challenges and empower you to face them and stay connected to your own heart in the process.
