Challenging situations can be nudges for you to take time and look inside to recognize them as opportunities to heal, grow, and to make changes needed to break free from feeling stuck, lead a more satisfying life, heal relationships, and bring you back to feeling like yourself again. Whether you're having some 'difficult to feel' or painful emotions, childhood trauma, feeling stuck in a relationship, going through a life transition, or just the uncertainty and stress of the world, therapy can be a wonderful place to begin to take time for yourself.
