WoMen's Issues
The issues concerning women are vast and complex, encompassing challenges such as navigating multiple roles—motherhood, relationships, and careers—while facing sexism, stereotyping, and gender-based violence. In today’s political climate, many individuals identifying as women struggle to find purpose and safety. Despite progress, societal failures to protect and uplift women contribute to ongoing stress and dissatisfaction.
The experiences of women are also shaped by intersecting identities such as race, sexual orientation, and ability status, which complicate these challenges. Balancing social roles and institutional sexism increases the likelihood of mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, among women compared to men.
Interpersonal stressors related to relationships and careers may leave women feeling isolated. Expressions of distress can lead to being labeled as overly emotional, perpetuating harmful gender stereotypes. Our therapists seek to dismantle these binaries, creating a space for all genders to express themselves authentically.
Institutions have often dismissed women's concerns, fostering distrust in universities, hospitals, and governments. Women may also feel unsafe in everyday settings, such as workplaces and public transportation. At Resilience, we explore these feelings and promote self-advocacy, empowering you to navigate challenges confidently.
