Why Can't I Get Motivated?
I Know What I ‘Should do’, So Why Don’t I do it?
Clients often start therapy at the point of emotional exhaustion. Assessments reveal that they are feeling completely depleted, shut down, in a state of burnout and depressed. Life can feel very bleak and flat, with little or no pleasure in sight. Clients attend therapy concerned about their drop in productivity and functioning, often telling me that they are doing nothing of value.
Why Do I Get So Overwhelmed?
Understanding your Nervous System, and Realising It’s not Your Fault
Do you find yourself feeling overwhelming anxiety in certain situations? Struggling to think? Heart racing? Stuttering, confused, blushing? Or quick to anger – seeing red, wanting to shout, attack, hurt? Or just shutting down completely and going blank? Does it feel like there’s something wrong with you?
Well, the good news is that a) there isn’t and b) you’re in good company (despite how others may seem to portray themselves). These are all NORMAL and adaptive reactions to threat, and your nervous system doing what it’s been designed to do.
