Analytical Thinkers
You’ve always identified as being analytical. You take pride in trying to analyze and better understand yourself, and you’ve grown to trust this process. It’s helped you to be successful, and to make progress at a fairly quick rate in multiple areas of life.
But suddenly you’ve hit an area of life where this approach just isn’t working. Maybe you feel depressed or anxious, and no amount of logic or reason is helping. Telling yourself that you have a lot of amazing things in your life to be grateful for is just making you feel worse rather than better. Or maybe you’ve hit a rough patch in your relationship, and as you’re trying to logic with your partner through an argument, they’re telling you to stop being so logical, or to stop trying to fix things. Or maybe you just feel numb and really have no idea what changed or how you got to this place. Although being analytical is a wonderful thing, it also has its downsides, such as losing touch with the present moment, getting lost in the tangled web of your thoughts, and pushing away people whom you actually want to feel connected with. Analysis is a wonderful tool in the toolbox. However, it’s not the only tool in the toolbox. With counseling, you’ll learn to identify the myriad of other tools that can exist within your toolbox, as well as which tools are appropriate for the issues that you’re looking to work through. |
