To be a human means that we live through a variety of unique and shared experiences: joys, successes, pain, suffering, numbness, detachment, just to name a few. These are often experiences we live through alone, whether we hide them from others, try not to think about them, or just don't have the bandwidth to pay attention. Yet you might be craving something more for yourself... Connection in your day-to-day life, in your work, hobbies and with loved ones.

Are you feeling stressed or working about too much in your life, or perhaps frustrated and stuck in your personal or work relationships? Perhaps a past negative experience is making you feel unable to move forward. Many people who are struggling with uncertainty have a hard time knowing what direction to go in. It may be that you’ve tried to handle things on your own, or put off reaching out for support because you feel you should be able to work through your challenges by yourself. Sometimes everyone around you seems to have answers, but all you feel is confused. Mostly, you don’t want to let others down and feel that you might.
