Unwanted Habits

Do you feel trapped by habits that are not helping you?

Do you find yourself repeatedly doing something you wish you could stop, no matter how hard you try? Have you tried to break the habit but feel like it always comes back?

Therapy for breaking habits goes beyond simply stopping the behavior—it helps you understand the deeper causes behind it and builds healthier coping strategies.

Here are some common signs that an unwanted habit may need professional help:

• Compulsive behaviors, such as nail biting, overeating, or excessive screen time

• Seeking others for validation, reassurance, and/or emotional regulation

• Difficulty stopping, even after you’ve made multiple attempts to quit

• Feelings of shame, guilt, or frustration after engaging in the behavior

• Using the habit to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional challenges

• Repeatedly telling yourself you’ll quit, but struggling to follow through

• Physical or emotional consequences from the habit, like weight gain, sleep problems, or relationship strain

• A sense of losing control or feeling stuck in the cycle of the habit

• Avoiding situations that trigger the habit, but still falling back into it anyway

Therapy can help you uncover the root causes of your unwanted habits, learn healthier coping mechanisms, and gain a deeper understanding of how to break the cycle. It can help you build self-control, replace old patterns with positive behaviors, and create lasting change in your life.
