Do you often feel like you don’t say or do the right thing? Do you get frustrated and lash out or maybe you shut down because you don’t feel heard?  Perhaps you resort to sarcasm or jokes. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations and it feels like we don’t say or do the right thing.  Often, we leave these situations confused about how we contributed to the discomfort and wondering how we could have handled it differently.  In counselling, we discuss how there are many forces at play in interactions with another person.  The focus will be on your actions and reactions to another person or situation, with the intention of building your awareness of how your experiences and emotions impact how you respond. By gaining insight, we can develop coping strategies to help you stay connected to yourself and feel in control of your side of the interaction.
