Do you find yourself stuck in a cycle of anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief? Do you find it challenging to remember what it’s like to be happy and live a fulfilling life? Symptoms of mental health conditions can over shadow positive experiences, making it difficult to recall or imagine a time when you felt well, often leading to hopelessness and the belief that recovery is unattainable. However, with appropriate support and treatment, many people can rediscover joy and achieve a satisfying life.
