Mental Health – Solving Problems

The Art of Solving Problems

Every single day we are faced with problems. They are a fact of life and never go away.

Some, we can fix easily, but other problems are not as easy to solve. When we do not take action, stress can build up until we do not know what to do next. This is an easy way to tackle problems. Changing the way you view problems can be especially helpful. Instead of seeing problems, see life challenges that require solutions and them become diligent at working it out The next time you are facing a problem, consider a new approach and follow these steps:

Solving Mental Health Problems

Step 1: Decide what the problem is. Try to be as clear as possible. It is easier to solve a problem when you know what needs to be fixed. And stick to the current issue, if you bring in too many past issues you’ll get confused and more distressed.
Step 2: Think of different solutions or end goals. Think of as many as you can. Write them all down, even if they seem silly.
Step 3: Decide on the solution that you believe will work best and feels right for you.
Step 4: Decide what you need to do to implement your solution. This is your plan. You can break your plan into smaller steps if you need to.
Step 5: Put your plan into action. Remember to use your balanced thinking skills. Step 6: Look back to see if your plan worked.

If it did not work, pick a different solution from your list in Step 2 and make a new plan. Keep going until you find a solution that works. The more practised you become at problem solving the more you will feel that you can manage whatever comes your way.

  Anne was so great. She is extremely comfortable and very knowledgeable. Anne was able to help me overcome some old habits and was able to help me come to terms with my past. I would recommend her to anyone.

  I went to Anne with multiple Traumas . I was not Hopfull that it can help however my partner booked me in to see Anne .. Anne was very professional and wise. She tried alot to stop me from self sabotaging .. I am still dealing with anxiety day in day out however I feel more aware of my problems and also less aggressive and sensitive to some  triggers.. not all my problems are solved as it was just four sessions with Anne! we could just work with couple of the issues... however it did help and I see a change .. I recommend TRTP specially for those battling with PTSD !

  I've been seeing Anne Serrey for anger management and for TRTP as part of my court ordered diversion since April. I can comfortably say that slapping the guy that brought me to these counselling sessions was the best thing I've ever done. Absolutely life changing. I feel much lighter, I feel free, and unstuck for the first time since exiting my mother's uterus thirty odd years ago.

Thanks so much Anne for all your help and your continued support.

Highly recommend Anne's services.

  Anne is amazing, TRTP has changed my entire outlook on life, how I interact with people, and what I’m doing. In the few months since TRTP my life has honestly changed so much for the better, it’s beyond what I could have ever imagined. My friends and family are also noticing it! And amazingly, every day gets better. Thank you so much Anne!

  Well all I can say is that Anne has helped me get through some of the anger And trauma Been built up inside of me for years and I have not known how to deal with it. She took me step by step on to see how I could overcome these issues that were holding me back on achieving some of my greatest goals in life.

Thank you so much Anne 🙏🏾

  TRTP has completely changed the way I think about myself and the world around me.
The changes have been extraordinary in such a short space of time. I suddenly find myself walking forward with a new set of positive core beliefs which others are noticing on a daily basis
Anne supported me through the process with expertise, compassion and patience.
TRTP really does offer you a new launch pad from which to embark on a new journey.
I’m so grateful for having this opportunity to do this work with Anne

  I had been struggling with life and reliving my trauma for over 20 years, I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally I was referred to Anne, who took me through The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP) as that is the process that helped shift the past and get you to a better place.  Words cannot express how she turned my life completely around. For once, I am actually excited about life, I am actually thinking about my future. I feel like my life has been reset, I have a second chance and I am developing my life the way I want it to be, rather than the influences I was brought up with. Anne, I am indebted to you, thank you so much.
