Therapy for feeling stuck at Mindful Comeback Therapy is for people who know the hows and the whys, have read the books or tried talk therapy, and still feel stuck in their life, career or relationships. Rubina Gogna, Registered Psychotherapist, combines root level work like EMDR and somatic therapy with practical skills from ACT, DBT and CBT, so change reaches your nervous system, not just your thinking. Sessions are virtual anywhere in Ontario, or in person at our Ajax office.
Why insight alone does not get you unstuck
Understanding your patterns is a start, but it often is not enough. When your nervous system learned early that certain choices felt unsafe, it keeps pulling you back to what is familiar, even when you know better. Science first, feeling second: we work with both the thinking brain and the body, so new choices start to feel possible.
Stuck in your life
- Going through the motions and not sure what you want
- Repeating the same patterns, even when you see them coming
- Procrastinating on the things that matter most
- Feeling behind compared to everyone around you
- Living in survival mode with no room to breathe
Stuck in your career
Many high achievers come in successful on paper and unfulfilled in practice. We look at burnout, perfectionism and the expectations you absorbed about success, then get clear on what you actually want and the next realistic step. See also burnout and career change therapy.
Stuck in your relationships
You may keep choosing the same kind of partner, have the same fight, or feel lonely even in a relationship. We explore attachment patterns and old wounds behind them, and build skills for communication and boundaries. Couples can also work together in couples therapy.
How we get you unstuck
- Understand the pattern: where it comes from and what it is protecting you from
- Regulate your nervous system: calm the stress response so change feels safer
- Process what keeps you stuck: with EMDR, somatic and inner child work
- Build practical skills: boundaries, decision making and emotional regulation
- Take the next step: small, concrete actions that fit your life
Frequently asked questions
Why do I feel stuck in life even though I know what to do?
Knowing is a thinking brain skill, while feeling stuck often lives in the nervous system. If change once felt unsafe, your body may keep you in familiar patterns. Therapy that works with both mind and body can help.
Can therapy help if I feel stuck in my career?
Yes. Therapy can help you separate burnout from a real need for change, work through perfectionism and fear of failure, and plan your next step with a clearer head.
What if I have already tried talk therapy?
Many of my clients have. We go beyond talking about the problem, using EMDR, somatic work and inner child work alongside practical skills.
Is this therapy or coaching?
This is psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. It goes deeper than coaching into the patterns and emotions behind feeling stuck, while still being practical.
How much does it cost?
Individual intake sessions are $290 and ongoing sessions are $200. Sliding scale spots are offered when available.
Is it available virtually in Ontario?
Yes. Virtual sessions are available anywhere in Ontario, and in person sessions are at our Ajax office.
