Regain Stability & Control Over Your Emotions
Do you find yourself experiencing intense emotional highs and lows? Do your moods shift unexpectedly, making it difficult to manage daily life and relationships? Mood swings can be distressing and unpredictable, affecting your well-being and those around you.
At Hendriks Psychology, our compassionate psychologists provide professional support to help you understand and regulate your emotions, so you can regain balance and control over your life.
Understanding Mood Swings
Mood swings involve sudden or intense shifts in emotional states, ranging from joy and excitement to frustration, sadness, or irritability. While occasional mood fluctuations are normal, frequent and extreme changes can disrupt work, relationships, and overall well-being.
Various factors contribute to mood swings, including stress, burnout, hormonal changes, sleep disturbances, diet, past trauma, and underlying mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder.
Through therapy, we help you recognise triggers, build coping mechanisms, manage stress, address any underlying conditions, and enhance self-awareness and mindfulness. With the right support, you can gain control over your emotions and create a more balanced life.
