Stress and Anxiety

Both Kill;

Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.

Stress is a normal part of living life.  But unhealthy stress is extremely harmful and can kill.  Anxiety disorders frequently appear after a time of extreme stress, when outside stressors leave, but a body has been "on guard" for such an extended period of time that the feelings remain even when the pressures are gone.  This is baffling.

The Good News is that this is very manageable.

Depression

Lies;

And it does it seductively and convincingly.

Depression can make a person feel like they are all alone in the bottom of a deep, dark, and dank well that is covered in slippery black and green slime.  There is no way out; no light at the top and no ladder to climb up and out.

But this is a big fat ugly lie.

Touchstone Therapy can offer a ladder that is sturdily built to help you climb out of this awful well of depression. 

All you need to do is reach up and grab onto it.

Addictions and Compulsions

Destroy;

And steal life's breath.

As Human Beings most of us resist Change and Growth.  One way to avoid these normal opportunities life tosses to us is to numb out, escape temporarily, chill, etc., etc., etc. 

There are many words for it, but when the avoidance makes one's life UNMANAGEABLE, then the chosen drug of choice or behavior of choice has taken over and moved into Addiction.

However, THERE IS A WAY OUT.

Relationships;

Are often built on shaky ground;

And require several skills to survive.

Many relationships are built on romantic love which, unfortunately, fades.  If couples do not have the skills of honest, open, loving communication which includes listening as well as speaking, arguments erupt and grudges begin to develop.  These grudges never truly go away until they are aired freely and heard with compassion.

Touchstone Therapy can and has helped many, many couples to sharpen and use these skills and tools successfully in their relationships.

I believe that the sayings, photos, or jokes a person finds comical or poignant to them can say a lot about that person. 

Here are a few of mine.

 

​If they resonate with you also-GREAT.  

​If they don't, you may want to shop around for a different therapist.

Therapy and Life Coaching for People Seeking

RESULTS

Judy J.

I’ve been in therapy for years for depression and anxiety.  I’ve made more progress with Linda Johannisson over the past few months.

Why?  It’s too simplistic to say we are a good match, but the truth is it’s Linda’s personality and persistence that created a safe environment and triggered my desire to move forward.

Linda frankly states upfront that she doesn’t want to waste her client’s time. During our time together, she has developed a treatment plan for me, we have set goals, and she has given me exercises and support that utilize her professional background and extensive skill set.

Moreover, Linda can tap quickly into her own past struggles, and share these  when appropriate. This reflects understanding.

Linda listens, yes, but she also halts me during therapy conversations to insist I review, refocus, and revise thoughts and words in the moment. Consequently, I practice, and I grow.

She is a flexible therapist, and she continually lets me know that as her client, I, and my progress, matter to her. She even makes me laugh.

How have I made more progress with this therapist?  I  am stronger, I am braver, and I am happier after having spent therapy time with Linda. 
And that feels good.

 Linda Johannisson has been the most helpful therapist I have ever seen with bar none!

She worked with me on several issues, including codependency, dealing with my spouse's alcoholism, workplace conflict resolutions, setting personal boundaries, & teaching me self-love and acceptance.

As I rambled on, she quietly and keenly listened. (This was comforting and had been lacking in other therapists I had seen.)

As she shared her insights on the matter, I realized she caught those little "asides" I'd hinted at that were are actually very significant!  

She has a knack of pulling the seemingly random - yet powerfully pertinent - points together with understanding and compassion. I have resolved and healed thanks to this very talented therapist. 

Daniel Q.

I needed therapy and I was afraid that the few therapists in my small town would not be a good fit.
 
When the pandemic happened, I lost any hope of finding my own therapist. Instead, I learned from people's Instagram healing journeys and learned meditation with the Calm app.
 
Those tools were invaluable, but I found myself sliding back into despair regularly.
 
When I started working with Linda, I was ready to divorce my wife and blow up my life over the most minor disagreements.
 
Linda taught me how to apply my self-learned tools consistently and provided invaluable feedback to help me identify my emotions.
 
I now feel that I have a stable base and am growing in a healthy direction.
 
Thank you Linda.

Now, when I reach a difficult situation,
I hear Linda's voice helping me work through the tough times.

I want to express how much I appreciate and respect Linda Loraine Johannison. I’m a former client who pretty much wouldn’t be the person I am today without her wise counsel.  Now, when I reach a difficult situation, I hear Linda's voice helping me work through the tough times.   I thank her for teaching me how to get through Life's challenges.

Linda's time and patience are remarkable. 

 
I had seen several therapists and was tired of feeling like just another case.
 
Before meeting with Linda, I had seen several therapists and was tired of feeling like just another case in and out the door.  Feeling like I had not made a connection can be frustrating to say the least. Thanks to Linda’s wide range of expertise, unique ability to treat me as an individual & her genuine compassion, I am more balanced, more focused, and more confident.
