As we journey through life, unfair things happen. The associated thoughts, feelings and people can stay with us as painful memories, create a sense of burden and influence our future expectations. While we can't change the past, it is under our control to change the way we look at what happened. As challenging events and relationships unfold, we can control how we respond. We do this by becoming more aware of automatic negative reactions and replacing them with healthier thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is possible for you to obtain a new lease on life and to embrace a future filled with things that have seemed out of reach.

We encounter situations in life that leave behind mental and emotional scars or result in developing behaviors and thinking patterns that are painful and harmful to self. We take steps to handle impacts left behind by these situations and find that we are unable to manage them on our own or perhaps it’s overwhelming to fathom taking steps to address the situation on your own. It’s okay to reach out for help and while it can be challenging to do so, I believe that change happens in a genuine, empathic and compassionate therapeutic relationship.
