Attention "Nice Guys": Are you bending over backwards to please everybody around you, while burying your own needs? Do you walk on eggshells, afraid that somebody's going to get angry or defensive if you make a simple request? Youre smart, driven, and a hard worker, and you often wonder if YOU'RE the problem. But you're really tired of living this way, of never feeling good enough, accomplished enough, and like you have finally earned some rest. You want to be loved, adored, cherished for all that you do and give (which is a lot) - and you technically know that you are, but you often just don't feel it long enough for it to stick.

If you are feeling scared, anxious, depressed, angry, burned out or hopeless, then this is the right first step on the path of healing. Often we have tried to manage things alone, finding ways to cope but it isn't making a dent in our day to day lives. Past trauma, challenging relationships and unresolved issues can eat away at us, robbing us of a peaceful and fulfilling life. You may want to find relief from your emotional pain and the accompanying stress so you can feel better, have deeper clarity and be able to move forward in life.
