So, the question is, where would you be if you weren’t experiencing this issue?

“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key” (The Eagles) “No one ever talked like this with me before” “They didn't force” “They listen and never force you, and they do not make assumptions about you” “You are unique and do not compare yourself to other people’s journey’s…do not do permanent decisions to things that will change in time” These are commentaries gained from people who experienced collaborative-dialogic ways of helping in the Now I See A Person Institute.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression? Is it keeping you from doing the things that you love and functioning the way that you want to? Is it creeping up on you when you least expect? Or are life's struggles too hard to carry on your shoulders, too much to keep on going? At times, these issues are there and intended for us to process through, to overcome the challenges and know how to have coping skills and tools to battle them again in the future. Trauma is no different, and as it holds you back from doing the things you love, learn how to stop that cycle, and take control of it.
