A crisis can suddenly arise and change our entire lives. It can be the death of a loved one, a separation, an illness, an accident or other upsetting events. Regardless of what caused the emotional reaction, crisis support and conversation can be crucial in regaining your footing.

At Skepsis in Gothenburg, we offer professional crisis management and trauma support, where you meet experienced therapists in a safe environment. We see the whole you – your reaction, your story and your path forward – and offer help without referral or waiting time.

What is a crisis?

A crisis occurs when our usual ways of dealing with difficulties are not enough. It can be acute – triggered by a specific event – or develop gradually, as in the case of long-term stress or trauma.

Common signs that you are in crisis:

Strong emotions such as worry, fear, sadness, or anger
Difficulty sleeping, eating, or concentrating
Feeling of unreality or loss of control
Social withdrawal or feeling of being “left out”
Physical symptoms such as heart palpitations, chest pressure, or tension

Crisis reactions are normal, but sometimes they become so severe or prolonged that professional support is needed. Talking to an outsider can help you process the event and reduce the risk of the crisis developing into, for example, depression or post-traumatic stress.

Crisis and trauma – when life needs to be processed

We often meet people seeking help for crisis or trauma in Gothenburg after:

Death in the family or other loss
Relationship crises and separations
Difficult news about illness or life changes
Traffic accidents or other incidents
Violent or threatening experiences
Work-related crises or exhaustion

Traumatic experiences can affect the body and psyche long after the external situation is over. Through conversation, understanding and processing, you can gradually regain control and meaning.

Crisis support in Gothenburg – conversations in a safe environment

At Skepsis we offer crisis support and conversations with a licensed psychotherapist or specialist in psychiatry. Our work is based on sensitivity, respect and presence – with a focus on helping you understand what is happening within you and find a way forward.

The conversations can have different focuses depending on your needs, for example:

Structuring thoughts and feelings in a chaotic situation
Understanding the body's reactions to stress or shock
Creating security, stability and everyday structure
Processing loss, guilt, or fear
Strengthening your own leadership in a difficult phase of life

Our Gothenburg clinic offers a calm, safe environment for reflection and recovery. We also offer digital conversations for those who prefer to talk from home.

When should you seek professional crisis management?

You don't have to "get through" a life crisis on your own. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness - it's a step toward taking care of yourself.

Seek crisis management in Gothenburg if you:

Having difficulty functioning in everyday life after a difficult event
Feeling that emotions are overwhelming or blocked
Notice that the body is in constant stress or alertness
Need a professional context to process in

We help you land, orient yourself and create a plan for recovery – on your terms.
