fitting pieces together
Online Counseling Across North Carolina
dovetail [duhv-teyl] verb: to join or fit together in a harmonious and synergistic manner
No matter how hard you try,
the pieces of your life just don’t seem to fit together.
It’s 3 am, and you are wide awake. You’ve been tossing and turning for over an hour.
You’ve only gotten a few hours of sleep.
It’s the fourth night in a row of the same thing.
You’re replaying the hurtful argument you had earlier. The weight of sadness, low self-worth, and despair seem to swallow you up.
Racing thoughts, muscle tension, tightness in your chest swirl around you.
Nothing feels right.
How many more nights can you do this?
How many more days can you go through the motions, exhausted and restless?
Irritability and tension overflow to others around you. Connections are lost, communication broken, and intimacy scarce. Withdrawn and alone, you don’t let anyone in anymore.
How do you break the cycle and begin to heal?
Today is when you find out and decide to do something to make it better.
Relief is possible.
The occasional glimpses of feeling better can become your everyday reality.
Working jointly in a compassionate, open-minded environment, you will gain insight and growth as we process your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. You will learn new skills and strategies that can immediately be applied to the challenges you are facing.
As the pieces fit together, you will feel physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually renewed and strong.
Strength of a Dovetail
Dovetail joints in cabinetry take time and effort. So, too, will therapy take time and effort to piece together the challenging areas in your life. Once those joints are together, they have tensile strength and are resistant to being pulled apart, lasting a lifetime. Much like the strong, long-lasting, durable tools you learn on your counseling journey to rebuild the damage in your life and prevent future suffering.
The time is NOW.
Why wait to start feeling better?
Holding onto pain and heartache from the past or fear and worry about the future prevents you from experiencing and enjoying life now.
We can build a strong foundation of skills that allow you to spend less time being a prisoner of your own mind.
Call me now at (888) 221-DOVE (3683), and together we will explore what is important to you, where you are,
where you want to be, how you want to be, and what it will take to get you there.
