Like focusing a camera lens to help create a desired picture, we need at times to refocus the image of our lives that may have become blurry often through the uninvited challenges or changes that come our way -or perhpas past events are not completely resolved as we thought. With blocked or stiffled awareness, our copng skills may be crying out for help as our deptression, our anxiety, our mood swings, our drinking, or our drug use may be taking over and managing us instead of we managing them. Do you hear yourself saying: I know that I need help; I want to do better; I want to feel better; I know that I can! Can you help me?

With your recognized need to change and your desire to change your work is already more than half done as 51% of the solution is admitting the need for help and the other 49% is doing something about it. Together, we can reframe the image of your life as you truy desire it to be. I relate to your struggles and your need and desire to do better with them.
I give you a lot of credit for doing what you're doing now -beginning to take this first step of findig for yourself what help is out here for you -and then making contact with whom you feel hopeful and comfortable. Do it -make a new picture of your life!
