People face extraordinary pressure in today's society. There's an overwhelming need to present perfectly and 'have it all together.' Because of this, many tell me that they feel anxious, depressed, compulsive, or disconnected from their true selves. They sometimes struggle with self-harm or suicidal thoughts. Some want to live more authentically, but feel trapped within the persona of who they think they're supposed to be. Even if they've met with professionals in the past, they don't feel like it's made much of a difference. They want change, and they're ready for something different.
