You are constantly telling yourself, “Be strong!"? Are you trying to ignore racing thoughts? You seem to start each day more mentally exhausted than the day before, wishing and hoping for something to change. Maybe you lost a loved one, your child, a pet, were told you have a chronic illness/disease, realized that your relationship is in shambles, are haunted by childhood experiences, or the pressures of your life/ job have begun to take their toll. You have thought of therapy but rationalize with yourself that “it isn’t so bad” and that you can keep trying to “fix yourself” only to find yourself circling in a self-blaming pattern.

From childhood into adolescence and then into adulthood, we inevitably settle with beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. At some point, however, it's possible those very same beliefs that may have caused us to thrive, may cause us to feel uncomfortable. If you find the quality of your relationships, the self or with others, has lessened in quality, there is discomfort to some degree that is causing everyday functioning to diminish, and the acknowledgement that these come with an emotional cost, there are answers. And we will find them within YOU!
