There are two types of boredom. One that was always there, just obscured, because one does not know what to do about it. When this type of boredom hangs around long enough, it becomes depression. Working with a therapist like Angela Leong can help you uncover whether boredom is masking deeper feelings such as depression and guide you toward healthy strategies for renewal.
The other is a newfound boredom. It means that something has been removed from your life. And this may be something to celebrate or something to grieve.
But alas, we all need to experience a bit of boredom from time to time. It’s a sign that restoration of the mind, body, and soul has occurred. It’s a sign of great opportunity ahead because now there is space to pivot, permanently end something, or start a whole new chapter. Our Somatic Therapy and Trauma Therapy services provide supportive ways to transform boredom into meaningful change.
