Experienced Psychotherapist   Procrastination: Solutions & Exploration

I am a State Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist/Psychotherapist with 14 years experience. I have worked extensively with Procrastinators.

If you are interested in why you do it and what you can do about it you have come to the right place.

Because Procrastination is rooted in unconscious conflicts, it is very hard to heal by yourself or with a self-help book. A trained professional is often necessary because you would often procrastinate about working on procrastination. Also it is very tough to explore our unconscious fears of failure, success, control, separation, and attachment from our unique stories from childhood when we are alone. With the help of dream and fantasy interpretation in conjunction with a thorough linking to our history we can put procrastination symptoms in context.

In an integrated approach it is important to look at the psychological issues, the emotional links to thinking distortions and the behavioral issues as well. That is why in addition to discovering the meaning of internal and external consequences of procrastination it is important to take a procrastination inventory and choose a strategy to combat the destructive inner voices or thoughts that lead to maintaining procrastination. Often family attitudes or inner voices of doubt play a huge role.

By setting Short-Term and Long-Term Goals with a professional therapist and also setting up a support system you can overcome procrastination. One factor that will be key is to have a concurrent stress reduction program. When stress-reduction is coupled with positive self-talk assignments this helps break the cycle of procrastination.
