​

Mental Health Difficulties

​

It is common for Mental health Service provider's to perceive complex emotional difficulties as mental illness. Subsequently, your emotional distress may have been given a label like 'Bipolar Disorder' or 'Personality Disorder' and treated with anti-psychotic medication.  At a Place to Talk About it, emotional difficulties are not perceived as an organic disease or mental health disorder. Instead, your emotional difficulties are understood as the result of one or a number of devastating experiences. This may include

​

• Childhood abuse, trauma and neglect   

• Isolation

• Bereavement

• Domestic violence

• Addiction

• Sexual abuse

• Psychological abuse/ Gaslighting

• The ending of a marriage/ relationship

• Bullying

• Physical illness

• Loss of job/financial difficulties

​

Instead of focusing on symptoms, the Psychotherapist focuses upon communication, words, language and facilitating a space where emotions can be processed and new dialogue may be created.
