Therapy is not only for those with serious, complex issues; the light touch of therapy can help guide individuals through life and keep a focus on their goals and priorities. Therapy is a great option for those that are seeking advice about their lives and directions in life, but have more questions than friends and family can answer.

Nobody ‘Has It All Figured Out’ in Life

There is no secret formula that will guarantee that you make all the right moves and decisions in life. We all do our best to ponder the choices and opportunities we have, and try and make the best set of decisions that lead us to a better outcome.

It is scientifically-proven that group discussion (including 2 or more individuals) will yield more perspectives and evidence for decision-making than just a single person can conjure-up themselves. Even the most open-minded people can have narrow views and perspectives on topics — especially when it is about themselves. Therefore, outside eyes and ears can help us see picture our lives differently.

Affordable Therapy Options offer individuals an outside, objective perspective on their life problems, struggles, challenges, and questions. This outside perspective is NOT meant to TELL you what to do in life, it is meant to help you better-decide what to do in life.

Do I Need A Therapist or a Life Coach? Is there a Difference?

It all depends on the unique aspects of YOUR life and your journey. A life coach is primarily for those who ONLY need the moral support and constant push from someone else to keep up their own endurance. Like a “hype-man” or someone that builds you up and pushes you through to your goals.

Whereas, a Therapist is more of a teacher that shows you skills for building your own confidence and showing you the way towards your goals. There is a lot of overlapping area between life coaches and therapists, and it is not uncommon for an individual to work with both at different times.

At Arizona Relationship Institute, we have a large staff of therapists, life coaches, and other specialists to offer our clients a wide range of help that is as unique and varied as their individual lives.

Getting Over Grief and Getting On With Your Life

There are many obstacles in life that keep us from achieving our goals or cause us to stray from the path. Grief is the most common negative factor in life that holds us back. Fear of death, fear of grief, and unresolved grief can keep you from taking steps forward in life.

Grieving is a process that should resolve itself in “closure.” A person MUST move healthily through the stages of grief into eventual acceptance so that they can continue on with their lives. A Grief Therapist can help you overcome the negatives that are holding you back in life.

Death is not the only form of grief. People grieve the death of ideas, the closing of businesses, and the loss of friends and family (to communication issues — not death). Divorce too can cause a form of grief — where individuals mourn the death of their former life and can go through months of years of grieving.

Getting over grief is essential to healing and puts you back on the correct path in life (towards your goals) so that only should need the “light touch” of a life coach or therapist to give gentle nudges that keep you on the right track.

What Is Life Transitions Therapy?

Life is made up of phases, and the changing between these phases can be difficult. Moving from childhood to teenage years, and teenage years to adulthood, are two phases that are known for their difficulties. These awkward times in life are natural changes, but our reaction to the change can cause us to falter in life.

Individuals that do not healthily adjust to changes in their lives often fall into negative habits like drugs, drinking, and exhibit negative relationship patterns. This is where therapy and counseling are critical: when individuals are struggling to find the meaning in their lives.

Without a healthy guide through these life-changes, we run the risk of going down the wrong paths that do not lead to our goals, but rather to endless searching and questions. Life Transition Therapy in Arizona is available through The Arizona Relationship Institute.

Online Therapy to Help You Through Life

Therapy should be flexible and fit into your life. If you do not feel comfortable laying down on a couch and telling someone your problems, then that is not the style of therapy for you. Instead, you need a different approach to therapy that fits your unique needs.

At The Arizona Relationship Institute, we allow for flexibility in style and approach, and all of our therapists have their own style. This makes therapy more comfortable for those that do not know what to expect, or have only stigmatized expectations of therapy from the images of therapy on TV and Movies.

Online Therapy Options are available, as well as in-person, and group therapy options. See our Arizona Group Therapy Events coming up on the calendar…
