That is okay, and absolutely normal. Having a supportive and safe space to express yourself, without fear of judgement can be beneficial. Identifying your goals, barriers, and your priorities can help organize your thoughts and start the path to healing. It can be tough to look forward when you are feeling stuck in one spot.

Let's be honest, you're probably here because you aren’t feeling great. It's hard to live in a constant state of inner conflict. Stopping the spinning wheel of self-criticism can feel like a challenge bigger than you can take on.

Bringing these feelings out into the open can take the power out of them, making it easier to find new beliefs that are empowering and meet your needs and goals. Letting go is a learned process and is easier when you are presented with an alternative.
