Change is difficult, and sometimes painful. If we decide we want to change some aspect of our life, it can feel frightening and also hopeful and exciting. Maybe we want to address substance use that is problematic, or to heal from some form of trauma, whether physical or emotional. Or perhaps we feel like we are living in a darkness or prison of depression, even suicidality, one that is difficult to explain or describe to anyone in our lives. This is when we need empathy and respectful, collaborative guidance as we walk the path of change. "Change happens through movement, and movement heals."
