Psychotherapy (sometimes simply called talking therapy) is one of the ways you can get help. Psychotherapy allows you the space to explore your beliefs and fears around people, friendships, and intimacy. You can reflect on how your own upbringing or life experiences have affected this narrative and begin to challenge or change that story. It can then become easier to make new friends as you remove the blocks that have gradually been built over time. It is very difficult to change something when you don’t know what it is that needs to change. Psychotherapy can help you identify what is and isn’t working so you are clearer about your direction of travel.
