"Whether just out of graduate school or decades into one's practice, at some point every therapist will encounter the place of feeling stuck. This book offers wisdom and guidance for navigating these junctures safely, imaginatively, and in close teamwork with clients. Peebles integrates truths from across a wide variety of theoretical schools, interweaving the strengths of left-hemispheric linear organizing and right-hemispheric sensory knowing. Chapters provide readers with the basics of neurodevelopment and brain plasticity, breathing dimensionality into our comprehension of what needs to change when change is taking place. Presented in accessible language with immediately actionable terms, When Psychotherapy Feels Stuck is a must have for any therapist who wants to move forward in their practice and embrace the challenges, new possibilities, and progress of change"--

Hi, my name is Yoli. I am excited to bring you this book in hopes that it helps those in need of a push to change. This book includes all the tools I have used to transform my life, drawing from my personal journals and experiences. My journey began when I started therapy and carefully selected the right support team. At one point, I had a therapist focused on my ADHD, a psychiatrist for my ADHD medication, and I was simultaneously attending couples therapy. When couples therapy ended and my relationship came to an end, I found a new therapist who became a crucial member of my support team. I made sure that everyone was on the same page by having them all sign forms to communicate with one another. This coordinated effort played a significant role in my healing process. Looking back now, I see the dates in my journal, such as May 4, 2008, a Sunday. It's now July 2, 2024, and I am excited to bring you all the tools that have worked for me over the years. The end of couples therapy marked a new beginning for me, one where self-reflection and quiet personal work became my focus. What if the key to your breakthrough lies in those quiet moments of self-reflection? Let's discover it together."

What do you understand about the concept of counseling and psychotherapy? Counselling and Psychotherapy Both describe a process of helping someone to come to terms with and work out solutions to their problems. However, they vary in the approach used, and underpinning model and thinking. What are the aims of Counselling? Counselling may be concerned with addressing and resolving specific problems, making decisions, coping with crisis, improving relationships, developmental issues, promoting and developing personal awareness, working with feelings, thoughts, perceptions and internal or external conflict. People affected by trauma tend to feel unsafe in their bodies and in their relationships with others. Regaining a sense of safety may take days to weeks with acutely traumatized individuals or months to years with individuals who have experienced ongoing/chronic abuse. Figuring out what areas of life need to be stabilized and how that will be accomplished will be helpful in moving toward recovery. Whatever the cause of your trauma, and whether it happened years ago or yesterday, you can make healing changes and move on with your life. In order to heal from psychological and emotional trauma, you'll need to resolve the unpleasant feelings and memories you've long avoided, discharge pent-up "fight-or-flight" energy, learn to regulate strong emotions, and rebuild your ability to trust other people. A trauma specialist may use a variety of different therapy approaches in your treatment. Somatic experiencing focuses on bodily sensations, rather than thoughts and memories about the traumatic event. By concentrating on what's happening in your body, you can release pent-up trauma-related energy through shaking, crying, and other forms of physical release. Cognitive-behavioral therapy helps you process and evaluate your thoughts and feelings about a trauma. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) incorporates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with eye movements or other forms of rhythmic, left-right stimulation that can "unfreeze" traumatic memories.
