“Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Forrest Gump said it best–Life is unpredictable. You may be struggling to maintain or repair relationships.

Are you noticing that trauma from your past is preventing you from the growth and change you seek? Maybe you’re in college and struggling to adapt to the changing responsibilities placed on you.
