Psychology plays a key role in pain management. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help by validating your very real struggles, shifting negative thoughts and challenging catastrophic beliefs about the nature and impact of pain. 💭
You can seek help with our therapists to better manage your pain, build hope and resilience, and greatly improve how you cope with and experience physical pain. ❤️🩹

Many assume withdrawing from people brings relief from Social Anxiety. But this avoidance behaviour actually worsens SAD over time! 😧
While avoiding situations may temporarily relieve anxiety, in the long-term it perpetuates the problem. A mental health professional can identify root causes, devise an effective treatment plan, and teach coping skills. 📋
If your coping mechanisms have not been helping your social anxiety, consider seeking professional treatment. You don't have to deal with SAD alone.

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️🌈 As we celebrate the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ+ community, we also recognize the importance of understanding and accepting one's gender identity.
In this video, Dr Hanita Assudani takes us through the process of gender identity assessment, a new service offered at Alliance Counselling. This assessment can provide insight and clarity for those questioning their gender, and assist them in their journey towards self-discovery and self-acceptance.
Let's continue to spread love, acceptance, and support for all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.
