**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY** Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are. These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will discuss your top goals and my approach. We will discuss fit and scheduling.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are: 1) my strong and extensive background in research, which allows me to bring a highly evidence-based approach; 2) my personal experience with mental health, allowing me to speak with detail and knowledge based on actually having seen results in my own life; 3) my presence, which is direct, compassionate, and hopeful that there IS a way to resolve this challenge for you.
