First, a disclaimer - if you find one or even a couple of points in yourself, this does not mean that you urgently need to see a psychotherapist.

Perhaps you are coping successfully yourself so far. In any case, this list will help you evaluate and analyze on a scale (0 – I can cope on my own, and 10 – I urgently need to seek help) to conduct an audit of your psychological health.

1.       Repetitive behavior – if you are tired of stepping on the same rake, psychotherapy will help you understand the reasons for this behavior and what makes you run in circles.

2.      Feeling of inability to solve family problems -   everyone believes that he is an expert on relationship issues, but unfortunately, childhood traumas and attitudes affect us despite understanding their harmful influence and then we lose understanding and adequacy. If you notice that your reactions are inadequate, then psychotherapy will most likely be useful to you.

3.       The feeling of being stuck in one emotion – usually emotions change, followed by a rise is a decline, followed by a calm state of joy. If there is a feeling that emotions do not change all day or every day you get stuck in the same emotion and cannot move yourself, psychotherapy can help.

4.     Inability to make a decision – if you go in circles around the important decisions of life and decide “nothing” solve” - then the psychotherapist will help you talk through the problem, realize it and admit to yourself what you think about it.  When thoughts are sorted into shelves, it will be easier to make a decision.

5.      You feel that nothing can make you happy - for many, such depressive states go away, but not for everyone. If you are stuck in this state and cannot get out, a psychotherapist will help you, act proactively, do not wait for suicidal thoughts to appear. And if they appear, contact a psychiatrist.

6.     You cannot break up with a toxic person – Severe traumatic relationships destroy lives. Sometimes an unhealthy addiction forms, which is difficult to recognize and leave. Therapy will help you gain self-confidence, see these relationships realistically, and see ways out.

7.      Anxiety – if you are an anxious person, then know that it is anxious people who most often seek psychotherapeutic help. Anxiety tends to increase over time, so when such an emotion overwhelms you, therapy will definitely help you.

8.     You are haunted by the past - if you live in past events or experiences, then you are stuck. Therapy can help you work through the loss, grief, and traumatic experiences that are emotionally terrorizing you so that you can finally get on with your life and live in the here and now.

9.      Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) - for some people, stress after a traumatic experience quickly passes, while for others it remains for months and years. Such stress can manifest itself with inadequate force. If flashbacks and panic attacks intensify, you should seek help from a specialist.

10.  Any addictions - if you lose a sense of control over yourself or it harms your personal life and work - you should seek the help of a psychotherapist.

11.   Eating disorders (overeating, undereating, etc.) can be a way of processing suffering, low self-esteem or a tendency toward perfectionism. In any case, if you see that your eating behavior threatens health problems, you should understand the reasons for this behavior with a specialist.

12.  Infertility - if after visiting doctors, they do not find physical prerequisites for infertility - perhaps there are psychosomatic reasons that can be investigated. But even if there are physical prerequisites, psychotherapy will help you accept a new future and life without children and survive the collapse of expectations.

13.  Bereavement – the loss of a loved one can be a very painful and difficult experience to cope with. It is especially important if you see that the period of grief has dragged on, you can contact a specialist so that he can support you and help you get through this traumatic experience.

14.  Chronic diseases - usually accompanied by depression and anxiety, especially if they are incurable. There are psychotherapists who specialize in helping clients get used to the new reality and even gain a new fullness of life despite reduced opportunities.

15.   Difficulties in relationships or lack of close relationships - both men and women can experience difficult periods in relationships with family and loved ones. Individual and or family psychotherapy will help you unravel the tangle of relationships and be happy, and perhaps find close relationships that you do not yet have.
